My name is Toni, and I am writing with a heavy heart to share the unimaginable tragedy that my family and I have experienced. My husband's parents home was affected by the fire on September 30th 2025.
My parents in law's house was destroyed resulting in the loss of my sister-in-law and father-in-law. My mother-in-law was able to escape the fire but she was flown to the Burn ICU and is currently being treated for life-threatening burns. Two younger siblings were also able to escape with minor injuries.
What started as a normal day quickly turned into our worst nightmare. We are trying to navigate this difficult situation one step at a time, but we are struggling to even think about tomorrow. We have set up a fundraiser to help cover funeral expenses, medical bills and the care of our younger under age siblings. Any amount you're able to give is greatly appreciated and helps in rebuilding our lives and beginning the healing process. We are now faced with raising our own family, as well as caring for my husbands siblings and each other in this difficult time.
We know that the road ahead will be long, but your support gives us the strength to face each day with renewed courage. Thank you for being our pillars of strength. We will be forever grateful for your kindness.
With love, the Taylor Family.
