Support Family After Lightning Tragedy
Donation protected
Our dear friends need our help.
On 7/19/2025, tragedy struck Jessica and Austin’s family in Jefferson, NC when a lightning strike set their home on fire, completely destroying everything they owned.
They’ve lost everything.
The family and pets are safe and sound but they were unable to save any of their belongings.
Until insurance kicks in (which can take time), they urgently need help covering:
• Temporary housing and rent
• Clothes, shoes, food, and daily essentials
• Supplies for the kids and pets
• Basic household items
Jessica and Austin are caring, hardworking parents facing an unimaginable loss. Let’s come together as a community to help them begin rebuilding their lives.
Anything helps—whether it’s a donation, a kind word, prayer, or simply sharing this page.
Thank you for supporting this sweet family in their time of need. ❤️
