Tonight, tragedy struck our dear friends, the Proski's. Not only are they some of our best friends but they are a pillar in the Gladstone community. In a matter of minutes, their home was engulfed in flames. Thankfully, everyone made it out safely — but the loss is unimaginable. By losing Mindy's childhood home, they lost decades of memories within those walls.

We are starting this GoFundMe to rally around them with love, support, and the resources they will need to begin rebuilding their life from the ground up. If you know the Proski's, then you know their hearts — the kind of people who shows up for others, who lends a hand before being asked, who makes people feel welcome and seen. They’ve been the one quietly helping others through hard times — now it’s our turn to be there for them.

Everything — clothes, keepsakes, family photos, furniture, important documents — gone in an instant. Insurance can take weeks or even months to process, and there are countless immediate needs: temporary housing, food, toiletries, clothes, medications, and basic household necessities. The road ahead is long, but together we can help make it a little less painful.

Whether you can give $5 or $500, every single dollar matters. If you’re not in a position to donate, please consider sharing this link with your networks. Your prayers, your kindness, your support — all of it makes a difference.

We will continue to update this page as needs become clearer and plans unfold. For now, please keep our dear friends in your thoughts and join us in lifting them up during this heartbreaking time.

Thank you from the bottom of our hearts.

With love,

The Maddox-Villanueva's
