Help Marvin and Keyda Family Rebuild After Devastating Fire

Dear Friends, Family, and Kind-Hearted Strangers,

Marvin and Lakeyda's family of five — along with our three beloved fur babies — is heartbroken to share that we’ve lost everything due to a devastating house fire. The fire began in a neighboring home and quickly spread to ours, leaving nothing behind but ashes and heartbreak.

In just moments, our lives were turned upside down. We are now displaced, without a home, clothing, food, or the basic necessities that so many of us take for granted each day. Our three dogs, who are part of our family, also need care, food, and safe shelter during this overwhelming time.

We are reaching out with humbled hearts to ask for help as we begin to pick up the pieces. Every single donation — no matter how small — will go toward:

Temporary housing

Food and clothing for our family

Essential supplies and care for our dogs

Rebuilding some sense of normalcy during this traumatic time

We are incredibly grateful for any support you can provide — whether it’s a donation, sharing our story, or keeping us in your prayers. Your kindness and generosity mean more than words can express, and we thank you from the bottom of our hearts for helping us move forward.

Please also keep our neighbors and all those affected by this tragedy in your thoughts and prayers.

With gratitude and love,

The Hood Family
