My name is Gina, and I’m reaching out with a heavy heart. Yesterday, my brother and his entire family experienced an unimaginable tragedy — their home was completely destroyed in a devastating fire. While we’re incredibly grateful that all eight family members, including three children, made it out safely, they lost everything they owned in the blaze. They did not have insurance.

Heartbreakingly, they also lost their beloved pets — two dogs and their cats — who were cherished members of the family.

Over the years, my brother and his family have opened their doors to others in need, offering shelter and kindness without hesitation. Now, they find themselves in urgent need of support as they begin the difficult journey of recovery and rebuilding.

Any donation — whether it’s clothing, toiletries, food, blankets, or financial assistance — will make a meaningful difference. They are currently searching for temporary housing and trying to piece together what comes next.

Thank you for your compassion and generosity during this incredibly difficult time.

Please note that any tangible donations can be dropped at Creative Cutters 38 Main St, Napanoch, NY 12458.
