Martin and Laura Carnie, along with their two children, 15-year-old Lucy and 6-year-old Jack, have experienced a devastating and unexpected loss. Their home in Katy was struck by lightning, causing a fire that destroyed everything they owned.

In a matter of moments, they lost not only their house, but all of their belongings—clothes, school supplies, keepsakes, and the irreplaceable memories that made their house a home.

While we are incredibly grateful that the family is safe, they are now faced with the overwhelming task of starting completely over.

We are asking for support to help the Carnie family rebuild their lives. Donations will go toward immediate needs like clothing, food, and temporary housing, as well as helping them begin the long process of recovery.

No amount is too small, and every bit of kindness means the world during this incredibly difficult time. If you’re unable to donate, please consider sharing this to help spread the word.

Thank you for supporting Martin, Laura, Lucy, and Jack as they begin to rebuild after this heartbreaking loss.
