Rebuilding Hope for Carmen & Don
Donation protected
On January 28, 2025, Carmen and Don Seifers were asleep when their dog Trixie alerted them that their house on fire. There were already orange flames by the time they realized what was happening. Although they tried very hard to save all their animals, their beloved bulldogs Buzz, Bo Peep and Valkyrie were not able to be rescued. The basement of the house is completely ruined, all their belongings are smoke and water damaged. They need all new heating systems, water heater, plumbing, electrical and so much more. They will not be able to return home for at least a month and they live on an active farm with many animals requiring care. Fortunately, they have found a rental only 12 miles away but need to come up with a deposit and basically start over from scratch. Carmen and Don Seifers have already been through so much and had finally created a little slice of heaven for themselves in Havana. Let’s help them get back on their feet and back home as soon as possible. Thank you!!
