Home Lost to Long Lake Wildfires; Newborn on the Way
Donation protected
My name is Tori and I am starting this fundraiser for my friends Meghan and Michael who have lost their home to the Long Lake Wildfires in Nova Scotia. They moved here just under a year ago and have spent the entire time fully renovating their forever home. They finished renovating it 2 Fridays ago and were evacuated the next week due to uncontrolled wild fires in the area. They have since learned that their entire home has been lost to the flames which includes their brand new nursery for their sweet baby girl who is set to arrive in 2 weeks. All they have is the clothes on their backs and a car seat.
While Meghan and Michael have dealt with the loss of their home Michael has continued to work as a Respiratory Therapist at the local hospital where Meghan worked as an ICU nurse before her maternity leave. They are safe with their 2 dogs and 2 cats at a friend's cottage but will be restarting from the ashy group up with a newborn on their hip. Please help in any way that you can, and share this to spread the news.
The Youtube video is from August 25, 2025 the night before they found out their entire home was lost.
The Photos are of Meghan and Michael's pregnancy announcment, the photo they received of their burnt down home on August 28th, the photo of their home at time of purchase, and the final photo is the day they were evacuated of their deck that was finished the Monday before.
