In a matter of moments, and during a severe winter storm, everything changed today for Branon and Teresa Saldana and their family.

A devastating fire has severely damaged their home, leaving them displaced and facing the overwhelming task of rebuilding their lives from the ground up. This loss affects not only Branon and Teresa, but also their son Sebastian and their seven beloved dogs, who are all currently without the comfort and safety of the place they call home.

Right now, the Saldana family is navigating temporary housing, unexpected expenses, and the emotional weight that comes with losing so much so suddenly. While they are incredibly grateful to be safe, the road ahead is long—and they shouldn’t have to walk it alone.

This fundraiser has been created to provide direct financial support to Branon and Teresa, helping cover immediate needs like housing, clothing, food, pet care, and the countless costs that arise after a tragedy like this. Every contribution, no matter the size, will go straight to the family to help them regain stability and begin the process of rebuilding.

If you’re able to give, please know your generosity will make a real and meaningful difference. If you’re not in a position to donate, sharing this fundraiser is just as powerful.

Thank you for surrounding the Saldana family with love, support, and hope during this incredibly difficult time.
