Knott-Yocum Family's Urgent Recovery Fund
Donation protected
On what should have been a joyful day—their younger daughter’s birthday—the Knott-Yocum family suffered an unimaginable tragedy. On Monday 26, 2025, a devastating house fire destroyed their entire home, leaving them with absolutely nothing. What was meant to be a day of celebration quickly turned into one of heartbreak and loss.
To make matters worse, just one week prior, the family was involved in a serious car accident. They were already trying to recover physically, emotionally, and financially from that ordeal when the fire struck, taking away everything they had left.
Even more tragically, the fire claimed the lives of all their beloved animals. These pets were not just companions—they were family. The pain of losing them is indescribable.
The Knott-Yocum family has lost everything: their home, all of their possessions, sentimental keepsakes, and their sense of safety. They are now faced with the overwhelming task of starting over from nothing.
We are reaching out to friends, family, and compassionate strangers to ask for help. Your donation—no matter how big or small—will go directly toward providing emergency housing, basic necessities, clothing, and helping the Knott-Yocum family begin the long and difficult journey to rebuild their lives.
Please consider sharing this campaign and keeping the Knott-Yocum in your thoughts and prayers during this incredibly difficult time.
Thank you so much for your love, support, and generosity.
