Dear Friends,

We are reaching out to ask for your urgent support for my brother, Matt and his family and their two young children, ages 5 and 7, following a devastating house fire that completely destroyed their home.

In a matter of moments, their lives were turned upside down. They lost everything—all of their clothes, furniture, toys, school supplies, cherished keepsakes, and the place they called home. Tragically, they also lost their beloved family dog, Aggie, who was a deeply cherished companion especially to the kids. The heartbreak of losing Aggie on top of losing their home has been especially hard on the children.

While we are profoundly grateful that everyone is physically safe, they are now faced with the overwhelming process of starting over completely from scratch. For a 5-year-old and a 7-year-old, losing their everyday routine, comfortable beds, favorite toys, and beloved pet is confusing and heartbreaking. Our primary goal right now is to bring stability, comfort, and safety back into their daily lives as quickly as possible.

All funds raised will go directly to Matt to support his family’s immediate needs and aid in their recovery, including essential for the children such as clothes, shoes, school supplies, books, comforting toys, and daily child-care essentials.

Any contribution—no matter the amount—will directly help this young family rebuild their routine and recover from this tragedy. If you cannot donate, please share this campaign link with your network on social media, via email, or with your community.

Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for your love, prayers, kindness, and generosity during this overwhelming time. Your compassion means everything to our whole family.

With gratitude,

Libby
