Today, tragedy struck when a fire tore through my mother Phyllis Hayward's cherished home—a house lovingly restored to honor our grandparents' legacy. This wasn’t just a building; it was a place filled with generations of memories, laughter, and love. Every room held a story, every corner a piece of our history.

The fire destroyed much of what had been carefully preserved and rebuilt from my grandparents farmhouse. While we are grateful that everyone is safe, the emotional loss is immeasurable. This home was a symbol of resilience, family, and heritage—and we are determined to restore it once again.

We’re asking for your help to rebuild what was lost. Funds will go toward:

Structural repairs and restoration

Replacing furnishings

Temporary housing and essentials

Preserving the spirit of the home for future generations

Any contribution, no matter the size, brings us closer to rebuilding our families history. Many of you have already reached out in support.

Thank you for your kindness!

The Hayward Family
