On August 10, our family faced a devastating flood when heavy rain caused over seven feet of water to fill our basement. We lost our furnace, washer, dryer, and all the furniture downstairs. Our insurance can't help because our area has never flooded before, leaving us to handle everything on our own.

My wife, our three kids, our dog, and I all live together in Wisconsin, where winters are harsh and cold. With school starting in just two weeks, we're worried about keeping our home warm and safe for our children. The loss of our furnace is especially urgent, and we need to replace it as soon as possible to make sure our family is comfortable and protected as the temperatures drop.

We're reaching out for help to get a new furnace and, if possible, replace our washer and dryer. Any support will make a huge difference for our family as we work to recover from this unexpected disaster and get back on our feet.
