Hey everyone, my name is Matthew Pudim, I'm starting this GoFundMe for my best friend Collin.

On April 23, 2026, a house fire broke out in Rexford, New York, and it was on the local news. When I got home from work, I saw the end of the story, so I wasn't able to see the whole thing. After going online to the local stations website to see the article, I saw that it was my best friend Collin Waters house that had burned down. The damage from the fire took the entire house deeming the home a complete loss. It is still not known to what caused the fire, but I hope they will find out what happened soon. They all made it out okay, his dad got a serious burn on his hand from trying to get the door open and his dog Jolie made it out unharmed, but they unfortunately lost both of their cats to the fire. Anything would be very well appreciated to get them back on their feet and to support them through this time.
