On Tuesday, June 3rd, our lives were turned upside down. After leaving work, I was driving home with four children in the car when, without warning, the vehicle suddenly caught fire. In a terrifying moment, I had only seconds to get the kids out safely. By the grace of God, everyone made it out unharmed — and for that, we are so deeply thankful.

Unfortunately, the car was completely destroyed, along with many personal belongings. As if that wasn’t enough, Ryan’s truck — our only other vehicle — has also broken down and is considered totaled. With both vehicles gone, we're now facing a serious financial burden between insurance deductibles, lost items, and the need for reliable transportation to keep working and supporting our family.

We both work full-time (and then some) and never take what we have for granted. Asking for help is not easy for us, but in this moment, we truly need support to get back on our feet. Anything you can give — whether it’s a donation, a share, or a prayer — means more than we can express.

From the bottom of our hearts, thank you.
