Help Russell's Family Rebuild After Fire

Pleasd help Russell and his family rebuild after losing everything in a fire.

On August 30th, 2025, life changed forever for our dear friend and coworker, Russell. A fire ripped through their apartment building, leaving nothing behind but ashes and heartbreak. In an instant, he, his wife, and their three beautiful children lost everything—their home, their belongings, their sense of security.

While we are endlessly grateful that the family escaped unharmed, the reality is devastating. They are left with only the clothes on their backs and the heavy weight of trying to rebuild their lives from the ground up. Their children no longer have their toys, their beds, or even the comfort of their own rooms.

If you know Russ, you know he is the kind of person who works hard, shows up for others, and never complains—even when times are tough. He is a devoted husband, a loving father, and a loyal friend. Now, in this unimaginable moment of loss, it’s our turn to show up for him and his family.

We are asking for your help to provide them with the essentials they need—food, clothing, shelter, and stability as they begin the long journey of recovery. Your support, whether through a donation or simply by sharing this fundraiser, will make a lasting impact on this family’s road to healing.

No family should have to start over alone. Together, we can wrap them in love, compassion, and generosity, and help them find hope again.

From the bottom of our hearts, thank you for standing with Russ, Dee and his beautiful girls in their time of need.
