Support Family Devastated by Rowena Fire

Dear Friends, Family, and Community,

It is with a heavy heart that I share some heartbreaking news. The Rowena Fire in Oregon has completely destroyed my sister’s home. In the fire, she lost everything—including her beloved animals: goats, chickens, and their cherished dog, Tito.

Her husband, who suffers from kidney failure and depends on dialysis multiple times a week, also lost all of his medical equipment. Around 2 PM, they received an evacuation notice while both were at work. By the time they tried to return home, they were stopped by the sheriff’s department and not allowed in. They were unable to save anything—no medical supplies, no important documents, no clothing.

They have a young son who will be turning three in September—a sweet, caring boy who loved nothing more than helping take care of the chickens every day. In the midst of the chaos, his only concern was whether his chickens and Tito were safe. It’s truly heartbreaking.

Because of the remote area they live in, shipping physical supplies is incredibly difficult. If you find it in your heart to help, monetary donations would mean the world and would allow them to begin replacing critical items like clothing, medical necessities, and basic living essentials.

If you’re unable to donate, please keep their small family in your prayers. Your support, in any form, is deeply appreciated during this incredibly difficult time.

With love and gratitude,

Our Famliy
