<div>Hi, my name is Marques Townes, and I’m reaching out with a heavy heart after an unimaginable tragedy.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>On July 23, 2025, our home in Souni, Cyprus, was completely destroyed by the devastating wildfires that swept through the area. We had no time to save anything as we were away from our home. I managed to get to the street of our home, but as soon as I turned down our street, it was full of smoke and fire.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Our family — me, my wife, our daughter, my wife’s parents, and her younger sister — have lost absolutely everything:
</div>
<div>Our home
</div>
<div>Our clothes and belongings
</div>
<div>Important documents
</div>
<div>Our sense of safety and normalcy
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>We are now left with nothing but each other — and the hope that we can slowly rebuild our lives.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>We urgently need help with:</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Basic necessities like clothes, household things, etc.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Supplies for my wife's little 8-year-old sister
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Needs for a 6 Month Old Girl
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Replacing essential lost items
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Starting over from scratch
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>We’re asking for your support to raise around <strong>75,000-100</strong>,<strong>000 to help us get back on our feet.</strong> Every donation, no matter how small, will make a difference and bring us closer to safety and stability.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>If you can’t donate, please consider sharing this campaign with others. Your kindness means more than we can express.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Thank you from the bottom of our hearts.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>With love and gratitude,
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Marques Townes + Family
