On Sunday, February 9th, 2025, I was awakened by my dogs going crazy and barking to wake me up. They kept running across the house back and forth. Upon investigating why they were acting so strangely, I found that the garage was on fire and starting to burn that end of our home. I called 911 and proceeded to get the animals to safety. Couldn't find our cat Moto, who in the end passed away due to smoke inhalation. The home ended up being a total loss.

As a contractor, with a poor economy and already struggling, I had no insurance on the content of the home in order to keep other bills being paid. So today, we are in need of several things. Both trucks are down now and leave us with little to no transportation. Farm animals have become difficult to keep with fresh water because of no power. Feed is running low for the animals as well. Overwhelming to say the least as we do our best to keep moving forward. Any and all help is beyond appreciated.
