This fundraiser is being created on behalf of our colleague David Gouveia and his family, who are enduring an unimaginable crisis. Over the weekend, their home was completely destroyed in a house fire, leaving them with virtually nothing.

At the same time, David’s wife is in the ICU in very serious condition. Facing both a life-threatening medical emergency and the total loss of their home, the Gouveia family is experiencing a level of hardship that is difficult to put into words.

David has given permission for this information to be shared.

We are coming together to help provide immediate support — temporary housing, clothing, essentials, and assistance with the many unexpected expenses that arise in times like these.

For those who feel led, your thoughts and prayers for David, his wife, and their family are deeply appreciated. If you are able to contribute financially, any amount will make a meaningful difference and help provide stability during an incredibly painful and uncertain time.

Thank you for your kindness, generosity, and prayers for the Gouveia family.
