In the early morning, tragedy struck the Garver family when a devastating house fire tore through their home, leaving behind nothing but ashes and heartbreak. In a matter of minutes, they lost everything — cherished belongings, precious memories, and most painfully, their five beloved pets who were like family.

This unimaginable loss has turned their world upside down.

Sarah and Doug, along with their children, escaped with only the clothes on their backs. While we are incredibly grateful that they are physically safe, the emotional and financial toll is beyond words. Their pets — loyal companions who brought joy, comfort, and unconditional love — will never be forgotten.

What makes this even harder is knowing how much this family has always given to others.

The Garver’s are the kind of people who show up when no one else does. From organizing community events, volunteering at local shelters, and opening their doors to anyone in need, their hearts and home have always been full of love and generosity. They’ve poured so much into the community, and now they need us to rally around them.

This GoFundMe is being set up to help them start rebuilding — to cover immediate essentials like clothing, food, temporary housing, and begin the long journey of finding a new place to call home. Every dollar helps, and every share spreads love further.

Please consider donating if you’re able. If you can’t donate, sharing this with others can make a world of difference. Let’s come together as a community and give back to a family that has always been there for others.
