Hi everyone,

I'm reaching out with a heavy heart after a devastating house fire completely changed our lives. In just moments, we lost our home, all of our belongings, and any sense of normalcy. Right now, we're living out of a hotel with my dog, Loco, three other dogs, and two cats who are just as shaken as we are. We lost everything they need: food, harnesses, leashes, and all of their accessories. I also lost all my fish and 5 fish tanks due to suffocation from the heavy black smoke.

What makes this even harder is that I'm expecting my baby girl, who is due to arrive on October 18 - just days away. All of the brand new baby items we had just purchased - her crib, stroller, car seat, clothes, diapers, and so much more - were lost in the fire. We were preparing to bring her into a warm and safe home, and now we're trying to rebuild from nothing.

We're doing our best to stay strong, but this situation has been emotionally and financially overwhelming. Any support - whether it's a donation or simply sharing this - would mean the world to us as we try to get back on our feet before the baby arrives.

Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for your kindness and generosity.
