On February 12, just before 2 a.m., a devastating fire broke out at the EarlyON Centre. While many may already know, the neighboring business, AJ’s Pizza, and the Ralph family who reside there were also deeply affected.

A family of four was suddenly uprooted from their beds and displaced. AJ’s Pizza, a small family-owned business, relies entirely on the support and generosity of this community. Joey and Brooke have worked tirelessly to build a life for their family, and in a matter of hours, everything came to a sudden halt.

Many may wonder about insurance, but these processes are complicated and time-consuming. Since the fire did not originate in their building, it may take a significant amount of time to resolve claims. In the meantime, they are left unable to operate their business or live in their home.

We are asking our friends, neighbors, and community to come together and show love and support to Joey, Brooke, August, and Henry. Any donation — big or small — will make a meaningful difference in helping this family begin to rebuild and piece their lives back together.

Thank you for your kindness, generosity, and support during this incredibly difficult time.
