On October 23, 2025, our dear friend Kerri faced an unimaginable tragedy — her home was completely destroyed in a fire, leaving her and her family displaced with little more than the clothes on their backs.
Anyone who knows Kerri knows she is the first to show up when someone else is in need. Whether it’s offering a helping hand, a kind word, or going above and beyond to support a friend, Kerri’s heart is always open. She has touched so many of our lives with her generosity, compassion, and genuine care for others and now she needs our help to rebuild.
Now, it’s our turn to show up for her, her husband, and her daughter, Makayla, as they navigate this devastating loss. While insurance will eventually help them find a stable rental home, as many of us know, that process is anything but quick or simple. In the meantime, the family is in urgent need of support to cover their current living expenses and basic necessities while they get back on their feet. The funds raised will go directly toward temporary housing, replacing essential items, and helping the family get back on their feet as they navigate this difficult time.
Every donation — no matter the amount — will make a difference in helping Kerri and her family find comfort, stability, and hope during this heartbreaking time.
Kerri has always been there for so many of us. Let’s come together and return the love and kindness she’s shown to everyone else. Please consider donating or sharing this page to help the family rebuild their lives after this tragedy.
Thank you for your compassion, generosity, and prayers. ❤️
