My mother, Jennifer, was woken to a nightmare this morning (February 11th, 2026) to find their house on fire. My mother, brothers, and two friends had made it out, but my grandmother, Iona, had not made it out. My brother, Benjamin, and his friend both tried to get back inside to get Iona out, but the friend and Iona did not make it back out.

My mother, Jennifer, had become widowed in November of 2024, and now the home she had lived in for the last 18+ years is gone with everything in it. Anything donated here will go to helping her get into a house for her and her two boys. Anything at all is incredibly appreciated.
