Support Mark After Tragic Fire and Devastating Loss
Donation protected
On April 9, 2025, my brother suffered an unimaginable tragedy and lost his beloved wife, his home, and several dear pets due to a fire.
Mark and Debbie recently celebrated their 41st wedding anniversary and have lived in their Michigan home for most of those years, where Debbie created a beautiful backyard garden. Sadly, their son, Jesse, also passed away suddenly just over a year ago, and my brother and his daughter are still very much grieving that loss as well.
Although the house is still standing, the inside is uninhabitable, and everything was destroyed. Mark is starting from scratch. Luckily, his Great Dane, Sarah Lee, is safe. However, due to her size, it's difficult to find living accommodations. My parents and I live in another state, so they aren't able to stay with any of us. Presently, they are at a motel and looking for a housing solution.
This fundraiser is to help Mark with long-term recovery, both financially and emotionally, as he faces unexpected expenses.
If you're not in a position to give, sharing this page would mean the world.
Thank you for surrounding Mark with love and support during this overwhelming and difficult time. Please keep him and his daughter in your thoughts.
He asks for some privacy right now as he processes everything.
