Help the Giffords Rebuild After Devastating Fire

Donation protected
Small update. We were on channel 10 news for a hot second. Luckily they cut the part of me bawling. We still haven’t received anything from my insurance and I’ve become that person who won’t leave them alone. We are in our 4th Airbnb and have to leave Saturday with no funds to get another one. My husband has a spinal fusion surgery on April 14th, to add to the stress. We have such a small window to get a place & be stable to allow him to heal. Such bad timing huh ‍♀️ Pray we get our pay out this week!

Hello Family, Friends & Kind Strangers, 

On March 6, 2025, a fire caused by a faulty e-bike battery charger destroyed our home, leaving us with nothing but the clothes on our backs and our dog, Churro. We’re now living in temporary Airbnb rentals, struggling to afford a permanent home amid high living costs. To make matters worse, my husband, who has chronic pain from a 1989 surfing accident and previous spinal fusions, is scheduled for another cervical fusion surgery on April 14, 2025. The loss of his therapeutic bed, essential for his recovery, has added to our hardship. We urgently need help to secure stable housing, replace his bed, and cover moving and rebuilding costs. Every donation brings us closer to stability and ensures my husband can recover safely. 

While we are grateful that we are safe & have each other. We know things are replaceable but our loved ones are not. We will always have our memories and trying hard to accept what has happened to us in such a quick amount of time is a temporary situation, however the trauma we have endured is still haunting us with anxiety, nightmares and disbelief. We are trying hard to accept we have lost everything and now we are required to find a new home, new belongings and new memories due to this tragic event.

Funds raised will help us replenish food, cover temporary housing costs, and meet the requirements for securing a new home. Thank you for helping us rebuild and move forward. Any amount is very much appreciated

With gratitude,
The Gifford Family ❤️‍
