Yarely & Jose lost everything in a house fire

I am heartbroken to report that Yarely, a 28-year-old single mother of a six-year-old and our cherished nanny, housekeeper, and friend, lost everything in a fire that burned down her rental apartment and took the life of the much loved family dog, Isabella.

 

Yarely is one of the warmest, kindest and most trustworthy people that I know. Yarely has become part of our family, caring for my daughter and helping me around the house. Yarely never fails to go above and beyond for people, by default she wants to help everyone. She’s truly has a heart of gold.

 

Life has not always been easy for Yarley, who has worked extremely hard to build a home for her and her son without any help from his father. Having enough money to live, eat and send her son to school has always been difficult. Somehow, in spite of all this, she and her son were able to maintain independence and build a life for themselves.

 

Tragically, on March 24th, all of this was taken away from them by the fire. The fire was not Yarley’s fault, she wasn’t even home when it happened. Unfortunately, in Costa Rica, home insurance isn’t required and her landlord did not have the house insured. In addition to losing everything, she is grieving the loss of their dog, who was a family member for 13 years.

 

I ask you to donate whatever you can to help Yarely and her six-year-old son get back on their feet. They’ll use any money you donate to replace the basics they spent years accumulating and find a new place to live. With your help, Yarley will be able to build a new life for her and her son. Every little bit will help! Thank you for your generosity.
