Aunt Mary has always been a source of warmth and kindness in our family, so it’s heartbreaking to share that she recently suffered a devastating loss when a fire broke out in her garage. The cause of the fire is still unknown, but it quickly spread to the attic, leaving her home nearly a complete loss. In the aftermath, so many friends and neighbors have reached out, wanting to help or offer support. Right now, as we wait for insurance and investigations to conclude, there’s little that can be done except to stand by Mary and show her she’s not alone.

We are opening this GoFundMe as a way to support Mary financially and surround her with love during this incredibly difficult time. The funds raised will help her cover immediate expenses, replace her only vehicle, and support the remediation and salvage of anything in the home that can still be used or repurposed. Every contribution, no matter the size, will make a meaningful difference as Mary begins the long process of rebuilding her life. Thank you for your kindness, generosity, and for being part of the community that lifts her up when she needs it most.
