My name is Ashley Perry. In the early hours of October 30, at around 1 a.m., we were startled awake by loud knocking and yelling at our front door. At first, I thought it was a dream, but then I realized it was real. I ran downstairs and found a man and woman shouting that there was a fire in our home. I immediately rushed through the house, waking my family, and we all got out safely. We are so grateful that no one was seriously injured and that we are here to tell our story.

This fire has abruptly changed our lives overnight, and we now need to act quickly to secure a new home and rebuild. We’ve lost the majority of our belongings and are starting from scratch, so we’re reaching out for a little help. Any support you can provide will be deeply appreciated as we work to replace essential items and get back on our feet. Thank you for helping us through this challenging time.
