Support for Noah's Parents' Fire Loss

Hey fellow Merrill natives and friends from elsewhere,

I'm reaching out today with a heavy heart. The home I grew up in recently suffered a devastating fire. My dad, stepmom, and their two dogs thankfully made it out safely and without injury — something we are incredibly grateful for — but the fire caused irreparable damage to the house.

As you can imagine, this means losing so many everyday essentials. They now need to start over, losing clothes, shoes, toiletries, bedding, furniture, and other household items. On top of this, they don’t currently have a permanent place to stay, and the emotional and financial road to rebuilding will be a long one.

While we’re waiting to hear back from the home insurance investigations, they’re in urgent need of help bridging the gap until we know more. Any support, whether through a donation, sharing this campaign, or simply keeping us in your thoughts, would mean the world to us during this time.

Every little bit helps, and all funds will go directly to helping them get back on their feet, replacing what’s been lost, and rebuilding their lives.

Thank you for your kindness and generosity!

Noah Woellner
