Our friends home burned on Christmas in Ellwood

Donation protected
I have spent 24 hours deciding to ask for your help with the Christmas night tragedy that struck the home of my Granddaughter Apinya’s little 8-year-old friend
(for privacy, (V….D...) whom you have seen on FB with Apinya in sleepover videos and dance routines since 2020.
She and her Mother lost their home last night, on Christmas, to a fire. The Mom's father bought and gutted their little house two years ago, and he has been remodeling that home for his daughter, a now single Mom, and his granddaughter, inch by inch, wall by wall, wiring, plumbing, ceilings, fixtures, appliances; all done by him for his girls. He was so proud to move them in for their Thanksgiving dinner; a wood burner in the basement started the fire.
This gentleman is retired and struggles with serious health issues. Yet, besides this project, he has long been an usher in our church, The Holy Redeemer, and he is a key volunteer for the Social Services Group of the Ellwood City Church; for years, I have seen him serve the community going to the home of seniors to mend their roofs, their yards, and far more.
I never ask others for help, but I am at a loss as to how else to substantially help a friend who deserves our help to start over to provide a home for his daughter and granddaughter.
I would greatly appreciate anything you can give to these wonderful folks.
