Helping Our Family After the House Fire

Donation protected
Our family recently experienced a devastating house fire 3/12/2026 that started on the first floor of the home where my daughter, nephew, and four grandchildren were living. Thankfully, everyone made it out safely and no one was injured.

However, the damage has made the home unlivable, and they are unable to return. Right now they are staying in a hotel while we try to figure out the next steps.

We are raising funds to help cover immediate expenses such as hotel stays, food, and clothing, as well as the costs of securing and moving into a new apartment. As many people know, finding an apartment is extremely difficult right now, and we have no idea how long they may need to remain in a hotel.

Any support, prayers, or help during this incredibly difficult time would mean so much to our family.
