Hello, My name is Abriella. Please help 3 college students after a tragic house fire. 10/05/25, my brother and his 2 roommates (Gemal and Parker) are on their 5th year of their master’s program at Aurora University where they played 4 years of college football, and wanted to continue a higher education.

On sunday October 5th, In Aurora Illinois, they were hit with the worst tragedy that they had ever experienced. Not only was their house deliberately vandalized, but also went up in flames. Thank Goodness all 3 boys were safe, but sadly my brother and his girlfriend Payton discovered that their 2 kittens (Buster and MooMoo) had sadly passed away from smoke inhalation.

They lost everything they owned and now i’m reaching out to my family and friends to help with anything that is needed.

I cannot imagine what it would feel like to lose everything you own including your pets. No one deserves any of this to happen to them. Thank you for reading my story about this tragic incident.
