We’re raising funds for our dear friend Maria Jungman, whose home was destroyed by a fire that tore through it last weekend. The financial impact of this tragedy is immense and far beyond what she can manage alone.

As a single mother with a college-aged son and an elderly mother who rely on her for financial support, this loss affects her entire family. Maria is also a devoted foster for disabled rescue dogs, always opening her heart and home to animals in need.

While she may be eligible for some reimbursement, it doesn’t come close to covering the true cost of what she’s lost or the road ahead. Maria and her family are thankfully safe, but she now faces the overwhelming task of starting over.

Your generosity will help bridge lost income, replace essentials, secure temporary housing for up to a year, and begin the long process of rebuilding her life. Any amount truly helps. And if you’re not in a position to give, please consider sharing her story with others who may be able to help.
