First and foremost, we want to thank everyone who has reached out to check on my dad, the seven local fire departments who responded on Christmas Day, and the American Red Cross.

Sadly, JD’s home was lost to a fire late on Christmas Day. The most important thing is that he was able to get out safely, and no first responders were injured during their efforts.

Many of you have asked, “How can I help?” or “What can we do?”

The honest answer is that we’re still figuring that out. Please don’t feel any obligation to donate. We simply want to provide an easy option for those who feel called to do so. Thank you all for the kindness, thoughts, and prayers. It truly means more than we can express.
