On 9/15/25, tragedy struck when a fire devastated the home of our dear family friend, Mari Carranza and their family. Thankfully, everyone made it out safely, but they lost everything they owned — clothing, furniture, keepsakes, and the place they called home.

This has been an overwhelming and heartbreaking experience, and as you can imagine, the road to recovery will be long. We’re asking our community, friends, and anyone who feels moved to help support them during this difficult time.

Your donations will go directly toward helping Mari and her family with immediate needs such as clothing, food, temporary housing, and eventually, rebuilding their lives after this devastating loss.

Any contribution, big or small, will make a difference and show this family that they are not alone as they start to rebuild. Even if you cannot give, sharing this fundraiser with others would mean the world.

Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for your love, kindness, and generosity during this time
