Silipena Fire Relief

On the morning of February 9, 2026, my 80-year-old grandparents and their dog lost everything they own in a devastating house fire. In a matter of minutes, 48 years of memories, belongings, and the life they built together were gone.

Thankfully, everyone made it out safely, but they are now left without a home, without possessions, and with very limited funds. Both of my grandparents are retired and partially disabled, with no way to work or quickly regain financial stability on their own.

They are facing the overwhelming task of starting over at a time in life when no one should have to. Any support—whether it’s donations, dog food, clothing, or financial help of any amount—would mean more than words can express.

Every contribution will help my grandparents begin to recover and rebuild after this traumatic loss.
Thank you so much for your kindness, generosity, and support during this incredibly difficult time
