Support for Our Family After House Fire and Loss

Donation protected
My name is Erin, and I’m raising funds on behalf of my husband’s family after a devastating house fire that has completely changed their lives.

Following the fire, their home was condemned and deemed uninhabitable. Tragically, my mother-in-law passed away as a result of the fire. In a matter of hours, our family lost both a loved one and their home, leaving my father-in-law and his three daughters displaced with very little left.

They are currently staying in a hotel while navigating grief, funeral arrangements, insurance delays, and the overwhelming logistics that come with sudden displacement. While insurance is involved, it will take time, and immediate needs cannot wait.

We are hoping to raise funds to help cover:

Temporary housing and hotel expenses
Food and everyday necessities during displacement
Clothing and personal items lost in the fire
Transportation and other immediate expenses
Funeral-related and transitional costs as the family stabilizes

Any contribution, no matter the amount, will help ease the burden during this incredibly difficult time. If you’re unable to donate, sharing this page means just as much. Every bit of support helps our family focus on healing and keeping everyone safe during this traumatic period.

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