Help Rebuild After a Devastating Fire

Donation protected
Dear Friends, Family, and Compassionate Donors,

I'm reaching out to you today with a heavy heart to share a devastating incident that has turned our world upside down. My beloved sister Rhonda Osborne and her father-in-law Bill Way, who has severe dementia, recently faced a harrowing experience when their home in Tyler, Texas, was engulfed in a catastrophic fire. Tragically, they were both trapped inside as the flames raged, succumbing to smoke inhalation before rescue arrived.

My sister was airlifted to Dallas, Texas, where she spent several days in the ICU burn unit on a respirator. The trauma and losses incurred are immeasurable. Their house and car were utterly destroyed, leaving them homeless and bereft of essential possessions.

Rhonda, Bill, and their two dogs have nothing but the clothes on their backs. They desperately need our support to rebuild their lives from scratch. The immediate needs are daunting—securing a new place to live, covering first and last month's rent, deposits, application fees, and pet fees. Additionally, they require bare essentials like clothing, furniture, appliances, and a vehicle to start anew.

Your generosity and kindness during this unimaginably difficult time would mean the world to our family. No contribution is too small, and every donation brings us one step closer to helping them regain stability and a sense of normalcy.

We are incredibly grateful for any support, whether through donations, sharing this campaign, or offering encouragement. Your solidarity and compassion will make a profound difference in their journey to rebuild.

Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for considering and supporting this cause. Your kindness shines a ray of hope in our darkest hour.

With heartfelt gratitude,

Troy Martin and Rhonda Osborne
