Rebuilding Hope: Support After Devastating Fire

Donation protected
Hello, everyone. My name is Jessica, and I'm reaching out to you today with a heavy heart but hopeful spirit. On April 23, 2024, our family faced a devastating house fire, uprooting my grandmother and cousin from their home. As we navigate through this challenging time, we're leaning on the compassion and generosity of our community for support.







Why it's important to me:

This fundraiser holds profound importance to me as it's not just about the physical displacement of my grandmother and cousin but also about honoring my grandmother's unwavering spirit of service. Throughout her life, she's been the one to offer a helping hand to everyone in need, always putting others before herself. Now, in her time of need, it's our turn to rally around her and offer our support. The fire had severe consequences, particularly for my grandmother, who ended up in the ICU, reliant on a breathing tube due to smoke inhalation. Witnessing her battle for survival has been incredibly distressing, driving home the urgency of supporting them through this trying time. Additionally, my cousin is trying to finish out the school year while dealing with this immense upheaval. While our family is doing as much as we can to support them, the scope of this challenge is beyond what we can manage alone. We need help.

How the funds will be used:

Every donation to this fundraiser will directly aid my grandmother and cousin in their journey towards recovery and stability. The funds will cover essential needs such as medical expenses, rehabilitation, temporary housing, medication, and other necessities as they focus on regaining their strength and stability. Additionally, they will be allocated towards the cleaning and restoration process to mitigate the effects of smoke damage and salvage what remains of their belongings. No amount is too small, and every contribution will make a meaningful difference in their lives.

Thank you for taking the time to read our story and considering supporting us during this challenging time. Your generosity, no matter the size, means more to us than words can express. Together, we can show my grandmother the same love and care she has shown to countless others throughout her life.
