A devastating fire has completely destroyed the home of my childhood friend, Matt Dooley and his family. In a matter of minutes, they lost everything: their house, their belongings, and tragically, two of their beloved pets. Now, he and his family are faced with the unimaginable task of starting over from scratch.

This GoFundMe is a cry for our community to come together and support the Dooley family during their darkest hour. Every donation, no matter the size, will help them with immediate needs like temporary housing, food, clothing, and the long road ahead of rebuilding their lives.

Your support will be a beacon of hope and a reminder that they are not alone. Please consider donating and sharing this campaign with your friends and family.

Thank you for your generosity and for being a part of the Oakland community that cares for its own.
