We are raising funds for the Page family after a recent, devastating house fire that appears to have started in a bathroom vent fan near the attic. Neighbors watched as firefighters cut through the roof and poured thousands of gallons of water into a home that has been full of life, love, and so many special memories.
It was heartbreaking to see only a few armloads of photos handed to Katie — likely some of the only salvageable items. While those photos are priceless, the family now faces thousands of dollars in expenses that will not be covered by insurance.
Your donation will go directly to the Page family’s immediate needs: temporary housing, clothing, basic household items, cleanup and repair expenses, and help covering any insurance deductibles or lost wages. Any amount helps — even small gifts will give them breathing room while they begin to rebuild.
The Pages have always been a generous, giving presence in our community. They open their home, hearts, and wallets to others — and accepting help may feel difficult for them. Right now, they need what they have given so freely: the support of their community.
If you can’t give, sharing this page with friends and family is also a tremendous help. We will post updates here so you can see how your support is being used. Thank you for your kindness and compassion.
