On Wednesday, September 17th, 2025, my life changed in an instant. I received a call that my home was on fire, and by the time I arrived, it was too late. My family—myself, two other loved ones, and our two dogs—lost everything. The fire destroyed our entire house, leaving it uninhabitable and taking with it all of our furniture, clothing, and personal belongings. We are grateful to be safe, but the loss has been overwhelming for all of us, including our dogs who are also adjusting to this sudden change.

Right now, our most urgent needs are finding a place to stay, replacing essential items like furniture, clothing, shoes, and personal care products. The support we receive will help us rebuild our lives and provide some stability as we navigate this difficult time. Every contribution, no matter the size, will make a real difference for our family as we work to recover from this loss and start over.
