Ginette’s Story

On Sunday, November 30th, 2025, a devastating fire engulfed Ginette’s home in Brevard, NC. Nothing inside was salvageable.

We are deeply grateful that she was not home at the time and is safe. Sadly though, losing everything has left her shattered and unsure of how to begin again. The cause of the fire is still under investigation, and it is unclear whether Ginette’s homeowner’s insurance will provide coverage for the incident.

Immediate Needs

As we help her navigate this difficult transition and secure temporary housing, her immediate needs are immense. Funds raised here will go directly towards helping Ginette cover the costs of:

  • Replacing clothing, food, and basic necessities that were destroyed
  • The first 6 months of rent in a new apartment + security deposit
  • Medical expenses associated with her recent hospital stay

Your Kindness Matters

We reach out with humble hearts, knowing that every gesture of support—large or small—can help. Even if you cannot donate, sharing this page with members of Ginette's community would mean the world to us. Your compassion and encouragement will help Ginette find the strength and resources to move forward.

We thank you sincerely for your thoughts, prayers, and support.

With love,

Ginette’s Family (daughter Simone and son Eric Wilson)
