Hi everyone!

I honestly wish I didn’t have to be making this, my name is Lauren, & last night on January 3, 2026 tragedy struck Shelby, Travis, & their 4 year old son Grayson.

Shelby was washing dishes while Travis & Grayson were playing in the backyard & before you know it, their house was engulfed in flames. — their brand new home they worked long and hard for. Watching them both make sacrifices to make their dreams of becoming home owners, come true.

Shelby works as a PSW, & Travis as a plumber, & Grayson is working hard on his first year of kindergarten.

Shelby & Travis both have ginormous hearts, & Shelby & I instantly became best friends. They way they would so selflessly give her shirt off her own back, even after losing everything is incredible.

I have made this go fund me to help them get back on their feet while they’re awaiting insurance— which, everyone knows, are not known for their speed of service.

Everything is gone.

but all humans and both dogs are safe, & honestly miraculously unharmed, no injuries, just a lot of loss & hurting hearts.

any donation, even just sharing the post means the entire world.

I will say it for them, as they will try too- several times-

Thank you, from the absolute bottom of Shelby, Travis & Grayson’s hearts, but also mine.
