Our hearts are heavy as we share that a my sister, Nikki, and her blended family of four (& puppy) were recently displaced from their home due to a house fire. While we are incredibly grateful that everyone is safe and the damage was limited, the home is currently uninhabitable while repairs are assessed and underway.
Even when damage is contained, the disruption is overwhelming. Nikki's family is facing unexpected expenses related to temporary housing, replacing essential items, increased living costs, and coordinating repairs—all while trying to maintain a sense of normalcy for their children during a very stressful time.
This fundraiser is intended to help ease that burden. Contributions will go toward immediate needs such as:
- Temporary housing and lodging costs
- Food and daily living expenses
- Replacing essential household items
- Uncovered repair and recovery costs
Your support—whether through a donation or by sharing this page—will help relieve financial pressure and allow the family to focus on recovery, stability, and healing rather than logistics and uncertainty.
Thank you for your kindness, generosity, and support during this difficult moment. Every contribution, no matter the size, truly makes a difference.
