I am creating this fundraiser for my friend, Madeline Applegate, and her family after they experienced a devastating house fire. In an instant, they lost their home and everything inside it. What should have been a place of safety and comfort is now gone, and they are facing the overwhelming reality of starting over from nothing. Madeline is not going through this alone—she is trying to care for her husband, two children, and four animals while navigating the shock, grief, and uncertainty that comes after such a tragic loss.

Right now, this family needs support as they begin to rebuild their lives. Donations will help with the essentials they lost and provide some stability during an incredibly difficult time. After losing everything, even small acts of kindness can make a meaningful difference for Madeline and her loved ones.

If you are able to give, any amount will help. If you cannot donate, please consider sharing this fundraiser to help Madeline and her family reach more people. Your support, kindness, and generosity mean so much during this time.
