Rebuilding After the Fire: Support Our Family

Donation protected
I am raising funds for myself and my family after a devastating house fire that took everything from us. We lost all our belongings—clothes, shoes, electronics, family photos, wrestling team uniforms, our child’s state medals and brackets, family obituaries, and even our son’s urn. With no home insurance, we are starting from zero and facing the overwhelming task of rebuilding our lives.

Our family is deeply involved in the community, especially through youth sports. I run Wildcat Wrestling Academy and help coach the Decatur Dogs football program, connecting with many families both locally and nationally. One of our wrestlers, Kingston Hamilton, has been ranked number one in Illinois for three years in a row, and we travel across the country for tournaments. This tragedy will impact our ability to continue supporting these programs and participating in events that mean so much to us and our community.

Any help you can contribute will go directly toward remodeling our home and helping us get back on our feet. We are grateful for any support, and your kindness will make a real difference as we rebuild and move forward. Thank you for being part of our journey.
