Hi everyone,

It is with a heavy heart that I am reaching out to you today. In a matter of moments, my friend Daniel Ahlstrom and his son lost everything in a devastating house fire.

While we are incredibly grateful that he and his son made it out safely, they were left with very little but the clothes on their backs. This tragic event has claimed their home, cherished memories, and all of their personal belongings. They now face the overwhelming reality of starting over from scratch.

We are raising funds to help Dan navigate this incredibly difficult time. Your generous donations will go directly toward:

• Immediate Essentials: Clothing, toiletries, food, and safe temporary housing.

• Long-term Recovery: Replacing essential household items, furniture, and securing a new place to live.

• Rebuilding Stability: Helping ease the financial burden while they navigate this life-altering loss.

Dan is one of the kindest, most selfless people I know, and right now, it is our turn to show up for them. Any contribution—no matter how big or small—will make a world of difference. If you are unable to donate at this time, sharing this fundraiser with your network would mean the world to us.

Thank you so much for your kindness, generosity, and support .

With gratitude,

Rob Patzelt
