On the morning of April 10th 2025, I woke up to a fire alarm & smoke creeping up my staircase. I was forced to evacuate & flee my

apartment with just a couple possessions, including the sweater & painting shirt of my recently deceased Grandfather. Tragedy struck as a fire broke out in the unit below me, resulting in the death of my neighbour. I write this currently living with my new partner, but nothing is promised in this life. With the funds, I will be able to replace major elements of my apartment, continue the long laundering process of all my clothing, as well as re-purchase all of my food (pantry, fridge and freezer staples). Additionally, it will cover therapy sessions for the trauma I experienced. If you know me, you know how much I have persevered, but I am truly at my limit. Money has never come easy to me and my family, so I am looking to the community for support during this dire time. Anything you can give helps. CP24 Article About the Fire
