Description: Last night, a house fire destroyed our coworker’s home and everything inside it. On Thursday night 4/30/26 our coworker Yvette and her grandson and daughter Josiah and Dominique lost all of their belongings, including clothing, basic necessities, their home, their car, and their beloved pets. They lost everything. The family had already been dealing with ongoing challenges, including ongoing medical issues, and this has left them without a place to stay or the resources they need right now. Delays with insurance payments are resulting in out of pocket expenses the family has to pay for cancer treatment. It’s important the family receives immediate support.

The impact of this loss is overwhelming, and the family is facing the difficult task of rebuilding their lives from scratch. They are currently searching for temporary shelter and trying to replace essential items like clothing, food, essential medications and daily necessities. The emotional toll of losing their home and pets, combined with ongoing medical concerns, has made this situation even more urgent. Our coworker and their family are in need of immediate assistance to help them get through these first days and weeks.

Assistance right now will go directly toward basic necessities like clothing, temporary shelter, and essential daily needs. Any contribution, no matter the amount, can make a real difference for this family in this moment. If you’re unable to donate, sharing this fundraiser is just as important and helps ensure they can get the support they urgently need.
