Yesterday, our lives changed in an instant when a fire destroyed our home. I watched everything we have burn, and now my daughter, my wonderful mother, and I are faced with the overwhelming task of starting completely over. My mother has been helping us for years, and now we are all trying to process this loss together. The shock is hard to put into words as we figure out our next steps.

Right now, we don't even have the basics—no shoes, no clothes, no food, and no shelter. We are reaching out because we truly need help to get back on our feet. Every donation will go directly toward replacing essentials, finding a safe place to stay, and beginning to rebuild our lives from scratch. We are unsure where to begin, but we know we can't do this alone.

Any help would be incredibly meaningful because it's so hard asking for help in the first place. If we didn't truly need it, we wouldn't ask. Thank you for reading our story and for any support you can offer during this incredibly difficult time.
