Join us in extending a helping hand to Will Gilman, Lilly Cohen, and their two beloved blind cats, Louis Winthrop III and Billie Ray Valentine, as they recover from a devastating house fire that has left them without a home.

Known for their generous spirit, enthusiasm for the Poughkeepsie community, and extraordinary antique & vintage collections, Will and Lilly poured their hearts (and savings) into transforming the property into what was meant to be their dream home—a place that would not only be loved by them but also be a unique and historic home in the neighborhood.

While their (many) treasured possessions cannot be replaced, we are seeking donations to help alleviate some of the burdens they now face as they navigate through this emergency.

Your contribution, no matter its size, will make a significant impact; funds will go towards providing immediate housing, replacing essential belongings, and rebuilding their home.

With your support, we can offer hope as Lilly and Will embark on the challenging path of rebuilding their lives.

Thank you so much for your kindness.

With immense gratitude,

The friends of Lilly, Will, Louis, and Valentine
