Hi, my name is Tracey and I am fundraising for my dear friend Martine and her sweet dog Tehya, who just lost all of their belongings to a house-fire on the evening of Friday Feb 13/2026. While I'm incredibly grateful that they are safe, the road ahead will be challenging as she did not have renter's insurance. Replacing clothing, furniture, personal items, and basic necessities adds up quickly, and starting over from scratch is overwhelming both emotionally and financially. Martine is in school full time at Okanagan College and currently finishing her diploma to become a rehabilitation assistant.

I am fundraising funds to help cover immediate needs such as clothing, toiletries, food, textbooks, furniture, and other essential items as they begin to rebuild their life. Every donation, no matter the amount, will make a meaningful difference. If you're unable to give, sharing this fundraiser would also mean so much!
