Help the Gotcher family recover from a House Fire

Donation protected
Good Saturday afternoon friends and family,


My name is Henry Gotcher from Garland Texas. 


With a heavy heart, I am creating this GoFundMe campaign for my brother Thomas Gotcher, his wife Patience and their children, Henry and Lorelei of Denison Texas. This morning at 5:30am June 29, 2024 they were awoken by a phone call from their neighbor, who informed them that their Home was on fire. The fire department came and worked for Hours to extinguish the fire. Once the fire was out the Fire marshal went through the home and deemed it was a total loss and the fire started in the attic. Thankfully and by Gods miracle they were not home. They were on a mini vacation for Patience birthday as an early birthday present.  They have suffered a complete loss. They are in need of everything, clothing , shoes, hygiene items and toys to keep the kids entertained as they recover and adjust to this new life and environment. 

This was their first home and where they have raised their family. 

If you can donate or help them in any way your gift or donations are definitely appreciated and will be put to good use. 

Please share this to increase the exposure and awareness of the dangers of house fires.

If you haven’t had the wiring in your home inspected lately please contact an electrician to have some peace of mind that your home is safe. Accidents do happen unfortunately.

The silver lining in this story is they were not home at the time of the fire and they took their pets to Patience’s mothers house for the weekend while they were away.

I honestly believe this was a miracle, if they had been in the home at the time of the fire they may not have made it out before the smoke and flames became too much for them to handle. 

All Donations will be given to the family to help with replacing items lost in the fire, temporary housing lost wages, food and any cost associated with this type of loss.

To: Tom, PJ, Henry and Lorelei 

We are so happy that you are all safe and accounted for. God was watching out and has big plans for all of you.  This is a stepping stone in your path of life that you will make it through together. We are your family and are here to help in any way we can. We love you all.

If you are wanting to donate clothing or personal items you can deliver them to me Henry Gotcher. I will make sure the family receives the donations.
