 At approximately 7:15 a.m. on Monday, August 3, 2026, a lightning strike caused extensive damage to the upper level of the Foster family’s home in East Grand Forks, MN, leaving it unsafe to live in. Thankfully, everyone is safe, but the family is now displaced while they begin the process of cleanup, repairs, and rebuilding.

 This difficult situation comes at an especially challenging time. Travis is currently recovering from surgery and is unable to work, adding to the stress and financial strain of this unexpected disaster. The family is facing costs related to temporary housing, replacing damaged belongings, and other expenses as they navigate the recovery process.

 The Foster family is known for always being there for others, and now it’s our turn to support them. We have set a goal of $15,000 to help provide relief during this difficult time and allow them to focus on healing and getting back home.
