Support a Counselor's Recovery After Fire

On Sunday afternoon (07/20/25), my mother experienced a devastating house fire that left her without a home and displaced her from the life she’s worked so hard to build. Everyone in the home escaped, along with her two dogs and two of her three cats (the third is currently still missing). She has been in this home since ‘95, raised her kids there and has had many valuable memories.

Although homeowners insurance will assist eventually, the immediate financial burden is heavy. Everyday expenses like temporary housing, clothing, meals, vet care, and basic necessities must be paid for out-of-pocket, and unfortunately, insurance takes time and doesn’t cover everything.

To make matters more difficult, my mom will be taking off from work while navigating this crisis. As a dedicated mental health and substance abuse counselor for over 25 years, she has spent her life serving and supporting others. She’s walked alongside so many in their darkest moments—and now she needs a helping hand.

If you are able to contribute or share this fundraiser, our family would be incredibly grateful. Every contribution—no matter the size—will go directly toward helping her recover and rebuild. Gift cards are also welcome.

Thank you for your kindness, support, and prayers.
