Hello, my name is Taylor and I am creating this GoFundMe to help my sister Nicole and her family during this very difficult time.

At approximately 3 a.m. during a thunderstorm, a lightning bolt struck a tree, and the tree fell over onto my sister's home. This huge tree not only did some severe damage, it almost fell onto one of my nephews, Kingston. The tree came through the house and through the upstairs bathroom. That bathroom is connected to Kingston's room. Emergency responders noted that if he had been in the bathroom, it could have been a tragedy.

Homeowners insurance will only cover part of the cost. I’m asking if anyone could help donate anything to help alleviate this stress. Doesn’t matter if it’s $1. Anything can help during this time. It would be greatly appreciated.
