On the evening of Friday, December 5, a devastating fire broke out at the longtime home of Melissa Edwards Lovette, who has lived in this house in Morehead Hill for more than three decades. The fire caused significant structural damage, and sadly, Melissa and two other family members were injured. Melissa will be coming home soon, but the other two are still in the hospital.

While we are grateful that everyone is safe, the family lost all of their essential belongings—including clothing, daily necessities, and treasured personal items. Their home will require extensive repair and is unsafe to return to for the foreseeable future.

Any contribution—no matter the size—will make a meaningful difference as they begin the long process of recovery and rebuilding.

Thank you for your kindness, generosity, and support for a beloved member of our community.
