Support Abi's Journey to Rebuild After Fire

From the Ashes, We Rise – Help Us Rebuild Our Dream & Stay Together!

Hi, I’m Abi S — a passionate beauty professional, caregiver, and proud dog mom to two joyful Yorkies: Kadi & Kane.

On July 4th, 2023, my world turned to ash when illegal fireworks caused a devastating fire. I lost everything — my home, my family, my mobile beauty business, my equipment, and my two beloved dogs, Tyche and Tori. That night broke me.

But then came Kadi and Kane — two tiny Yorkie pups gifted to me by friends who refused to let me give up.

With them by my side, I fought my way back. It's taken about 2 years. We lived in my car. We walked for hours. I went to job interviews by day and crafted by night. We leaned on kind strangers, incredible nonprofits, and each other.

Now, we have a tiny apartment — and I am ready to begin my business again. The fire left me deep in debt, and I’m still climbing with gig jobs and existing clientele.

Why I’m Asking for Your Help

I’m raising $15,000 to restart my on-the-go mobile beauty business — the very dream that supported me before the fire. Here’s how your donation will help:

Item Estimated Cost

Vehicle retrofit (Repairs, storage installation) $4,000

Beauty supplies/tools restock $3,500

Professional makeup/hygiene stock $3,000

Insurance, licenses, safety kits $1,500

Debt relief + credit repair $1,500

Emergency savings for Kadi & Kane $1,500

This business will allow me to care for my pups, remain independent, and offer accessible beauty services to people with medical challenges — a mission that has always been at the heart of what I do.

Why This Matters

I could’ve given up. But Kadi and Kane gave me a reason to keep going. Their loyalty, laughter, and love helped me survive when I had nothing.

Now I want to build a life where I can stay close to them, pay forward the help I received, and return to doing what I love — making people feel beautiful, especially those who are often overlooked.

If you’ve ever believed in second chances, in wagging tails that save your soul, or in rebuilding from the ashes — please consider donating or sharing our story.

With love & paws,

ABI S
