On the morning of April 4, 2026, the day before Easter, a devastating fire broke out on Sheridan Ave in Seaside Heights. One house was completely lost, and two others were badly damaged. One of the damaged homes belongs to a family friend, who suddenly found themselves without a safe place to stay. My parents welcomed them into their home so they could have shelter and support while they figure out what to do next. I do not live with my parents, but I am helping organize this fundraiser to support the family.

The fire left their house unlivable, and the repairs needed are extensive. Unfortunately, it looks like insurance may not cover the full cost of restoring their home. This has put a huge strain on the family, who are now facing uncertainty and hardship as they try to rebuild their lives. We want to help them get back on their feet and return to their home as soon as possible.

Funds raised will go directly toward repairs and other essential needs for the family. Every contribution, no matter the size, will make a difference in helping them recover from this unexpected disaster. Please consider supporting this fundraiser so we can give our friends hope and a fresh start. Your kindness and generosity are truly appreciated.
