About the fundraiser:

On August 24th, a devastating wildfire swept through Vernon Parish, Louisiana leaving behind destruction and heartache for families. Among those affected is the Henderson family, including AW, his wife Katie, and their children, Skyler (20), and Rylan (7), a family of four who managed to escape the flames, however, their home was damaged due to extensive smoke and heat damage.

In addition to the immediate necessities, funds will go towards rebuilding their lives. Burnt fence posts and other burnt lumber need replacement, pet essentials, fencing repairs, melted siding on two sides of their home requires repair, and an entire side of their home needs new windows. The process of treating or replacing their possessions affected by smoke damage is both emotionally and financially daunting.

Their story:

Imagine the terror of having to flee through the woods, leaving everything behind, and escaping with your loved ones to safety. That's exactly what the Henderson family experienced. Their home, though still standing, is now uninhabitable due to the pervasive smoke damage. Their home is a constant reminder of the trauma they endured.

Why we need your help:

This fundraiser aims to provide support to the Henderson family during this challenging time. They need assistance to cover essential expenses such as hotel accommodations, meals, and fuel costs for their daily commute between the hotel and their home, which is now a site of discomfort and pain due to the lingering effects of the fire.
