On the evening of April 2, our community experienced an unimaginable tragedy. Our next-door neighbor, 70-year-old Laura Brysacz, and her beloved 3-year-old great-granddaughter, Piper McCullough, tragically lost their lives in a house fire, along with Laura’s cousin, Julianne.

They leave behind many loved ones, including Piper’s mother, Laura’s daughters, and extended family members who are now facing an overwhelming loss.

As the family grieves this devastating tragedy, they are also facing unexpected financial burdens, including funeral and memorial service expenses, cremation and burial costs, and expenses related to the loss of the home, along with other needs during this incredibly difficult time.

We are coming together to support them in any way we can. If you are able, please consider donating to help ease some of this financial strain. Every contribution, no matter the size, will make a meaningful difference. Donations will be received and distributed by one of Laura’s daughters, Chelsea Brothers.

If you’re unable to give, sharing this page and keeping the family in your thoughts and prayers is deeply appreciated.

Let’s come together to support this family with love and compassion during such a painful time.
