Help My Sister’s Family Rebuild After Devastating House Fire

Hi everyone,

I’m reaching out on behalf of my sister Jeannie and her family, who recently experienced a heartbreaking loss. A sudden and devastating house fire destroyed their home, leaving them with nothing but the clothes they were wearing. Thankfully, everyone made it out safely—but their lives have been completely turned upside down.

Right now, they are trying to pick up the pieces and rebuild from the ground up. They lost all their belongings due to heavy smoke damage—clothes, furniture, personal keepsakes, and the basic necessities we often take for granted. Insurance is not an option as she was renting.

Temporary housing (she is paying out of pocket for a motel room, which adds up quickly)

Food and clothing

Toiletries and hygiene items

Replacing everyday household items

If you can contribute anything—whether it’s $5 or $50—it would mean the world to them. If you're unable to give, sharing this fundraiser would also help more than you know.

Let’s show Jeannie and her family that they are not alone, and that their community is behind them. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for your kindness and support.

Thank you so much,

Sarah Wortz
