Hey everyone, Sean here.

On June 25th, 2025, Olivia and I officially became husband and wife. We eloped to Vegas and had a beautiful, joy-filled wedding we’ll never forget. But just 16 hours later, during lunch with my father, our joy was shaken.

My wife got a call from our son: our home was on fire.

The flames spread quickly. Fire crews responded, but between the flames, smoke, and water, our home was declared uninhabitable. A video of the fire even aired on local news, sent to us by my uncle.

While we’re incredibly thankful no one was hurt, we’re now facing the hard reality of rebuilding from the ground up.

Much of our savings went into our wedding and honeymoon, and we didn’t expect to be starting over so suddenly. We're currently staying in a hotel, but our goal is to find a new home and re-establish some stability for our family.

Here’s what we’re asking help with:

A security deposit and first month’s rent for a new place

Clothing for all five of us

Basic furniture and essentials

Pet supplies for our cat, Spice

Art supplies to bring normalcy and comfort to our kids

A replacement computer for our son, who studies architecture at Morgan State

Limited business equipment lost in the fire, due to insurance caps

If you know us, you know how much we value family and self-sufficiency, but right now we’re in a tough spot and could use a hand. No donation is too small. Every bit helps us take a step forward.

We are deeply grateful for the love and support already shown to us during this time. Thank you for helping us rebuild, not just our home, but our peace of mind.

With love and gratitude,

Sean, Olivia, and Family
