If you've ever had the privilege of knowing Jenn and TJ Hepburn, you know they are the kind of people who never hesitate to help someone in need.

TJ is a dedicated local DEEP officer, the head wrestling coach at Ledyard High School, and the founder of a youth wrestling program that has positively impacted countless young athletes. Jenn works in the office at Ledyard High School, where she has quietly poured her heart into supporting students, staff, and the community. She has been instrumental in organizing many of the school's successful fundraisers and community initiatives, including the recent clothing drive that helped so many local families.

Together, Jenn and TJ have spent years giving back, lifting others up, and making our community a better place. Now, they are the ones who need us.

On June 28, their lives changed in an instant when a devastating house fire destroyed their home, and vehicles. They lost everything they owned, including their beloved family pet. In the matter of moments, a lifetime of memories, treasured belongings, and the place they and their two children called home were gone.

As they begin the overwhelming journey of rebuilding, they are facing the immediate need to replace clothing, personal items, and everyday essentials while also navigating temporary housing and the long road to recovery.

If you are able to help, no amount is too small. Every donation will go directly toward helping Jenn and TJ rebuild their lives and regain a sense of normalcy after this unimaginable loss. If you are unable to donate, sharing this fundraiser and keeping them in your thoughts and prayers means more than you know.

Jenn and TJ have spent their lives showing up for others. Let's show up for them now.
