We are reaching out with heavy hearts after a devastating house fire in West Allis, Wisconsin that has completely shattered my family’s life. This wasn’t just a house—it was our home for three generations. My dad grew up here, I lived here much of my young adult life, and my grandpa, who has since passed, poured his time, love, and hard work into building and adding onto it with his own hands. Every corner held memories, traditions, and pieces of our family’s story. This house was our legacy.

In a matter of moments, so much of that was taken from us. The people residing here lost everything—their belongings, their sense of safety, and the place that held a lifetime of memories. To make this even more overwhelming, insurance will not cover the damage and loss. We are now left trying to pick up the pieces, facing the heartbreaking reality of re building over from scratch.

Anyone that knows my dad knows he works so, so hard, and my heart is breaking for him. He would never ask for help like this, but as his daughter, I’m stepping up and doing everything I can to support him and our family through this.

Im asking for help during this unimaginable time. Any donation, no matter the size, or even sharing this page, would mean the world to us. Your support is not just helping us rebuild a house—it’s helping us hold onto what remains of our family’s legacy and find hope again. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts. Love the McGinnis Family
