After work on Monday, March 23rd, the Gardner family's world was turned upside down when their home was destroyed by a devastating fire. Mitch, Emily, and their children, Kenz and Roz, lost everything in a matter of hours. As a young family who has always worked hard to provide for themselves, they now face the unimaginable challenge of starting over with nothing. The loss has left them without even the most basic necessities, and the road ahead is daunting.

The funds raised will help the Gardner Family with immediate needs such as temporary shelter, clothing for all seasons, and essential hygiene and personal care items. They will also need support for food and groceries, medical needs like prescriptions and basic first aid, and help replacing critical documents. For Kenz and Roz, comfort and stability are especially important—having a few personal items, age-appropriate clothing, and school supplies will help them feel safe and cared for during this difficult time. As the family transitions into temporary housing, they will need bedding, cookware, cleaning supplies, and eventually larger essentials like beds, furniture, and household items. Assistance with daily expenses, transportation, and rebuilding costs will be crucial as they work to regain a sense of normalcy.

If you’re able, please consider donating or sharing this fundraiser to help the Gardner Family rebuild. Every bit of support—no matter the size—will make a difference as they work to regain stability and hope. Thank you for showing them they’re not alone.
