Rally for JP and His Family After Home Fire

Dear Friends and Family,

I am reaching out to you with a heavy heart for my amazing cousin JP and his wonderful family—his wife Paula, their two beautiful daughters (ages 12 and 10), and JP’s mother-in-law. On December 11, 2024, they experienced a devastating house fire that changed their lives overnight. Thankfully, JP, Paula, and their daughters were not home when the fire broke out, and JP's mother-in-law, who was at home, made it out safely. However, they returned to find their beloved home, which has been the heart and soul of our family for the past five years, engulfed in flames. This home has been a haven for countless sleepovers for their girls and my kids, family parties, and cherished memories shared with loved ones.

While no one was physically harmed, the emotional impact is significant, compounded by the fact that their beloved cat, Alex, still missing. The fire and smoke caused extensive damage to both upper and lower levels of the house, leaving them with a long road to recovery ahead. This holiday season, as they navigate this unimaginable challenge, we want to rally around them and show our support.

JP’s mother-in-law lost all of her personal belongings, including everything in her bedroom, and unfortunately, many holiday gifts were destroyed in the blaze as well. Although insurance will eventually assist, it is not nearly enough to cover all the overwhelming costs associated with their loss.

I am asking for your help to support JP and his family during this difficult time. Your generous contributions will go toward:

• Immediate necessities such as clothing

• Temporary rental costs

• Replacing essential household items

• Providing comfort and support to help them rebuild their lives

No donation is too small, and every little bit counts. Your kindness can help JP and his family regain their footing and experience a joyful holiday season despite the challenges they face. For those who know and love JP and Paula, you understand how they consistently open their hearts to everyone and embody the spirit of cherished community members.

Let’s come together as a community to lift them up in their time of need. Thank you for your support, love, and generosity. We truly appreciate anything you can give.

With heartfelt gratitude,

Alex
