Support for Punxsutawney Family After Fire

Donation protected
Jessica, Justin, and their family experienced a living nightmare Thursday morning on February 13th, 2025. When handymen came to fix a leaking hot water tank in their basement, they never imagined it could lead to the uncontrollable, gas-fed fire that destroyed their family home in the heart of Punxsutawney, PA.

At least 10 local fire companies attended the call, but unfortunately, the home was a total loss. Fortunately, everyone made it out of the house, including their cat. During the midst of it all, two turtles that lived upstairs were deemed unreachable; however, as the firefighters were extinguishing what they could, one turtle was found on the roof and brought to safety, and not long later, the other followed!

While there fortunately were no physical injuries, the damage from this fire has left them homeless, devastated, and heartbroken. Jessica and Justin raised their 5 children in this home for the last 21 years, and have now lost everything.

All donations from this GoFundMe page will go directly to the family to support their necessities such as basic needs, clothing, food, and anything else that they may need as they navigate through this devastating loss.

Thank you for any and all contributions!
