Holliday Family House Fire Recovery

Hi, my name is Paris, and I am fundraising on behalf of my aunt and her family: Shannon, David, Nolan, "Little" David, and Justice. On July 11, a devastating accident involving their dryer started a fire in their home in Gardena CA. Shannon smelt smoke when the dryer was going. What started out as a small flame overtook both bedrooms and the den. Thankfully everyone made it out safely, but they lost all of their personal belongings. Their beds, dressers, televisions, family photos--everything went up in flames. They have only the clothes on their backs in the aftermath of the tragedy. Their three sons--all sports stars--no longer have equipment to train with. They no longer have clothes to wear to school and work, toys to play with, or a bed for their puppy Gigi.

The Hollidays are a generous and caring family. Had it been anyone else, they would do everything they possibly could to help them out. Everyone who knows them can attest to this. David is an active member of his community. He coaches his sons' sports teams, and I would definitely call him one of my mentors. Shannon is adored and highly favored by all her customers who come into her job. She helped me buy my first car.

We are raising money in hopes of providing temporary housing for my family and replacing essential items, such as clothing, for now. In the long run, their home will need to be repaired/rebuilt. We would sincerely appreciate any and all donations and sharing this fundraiser. Thank you to everyone in advance.
