Support & rebuild Red Dragon Tae Kwon Do Studio after fire.

Donation protected

Please help my brother and sister-in-law rebuild Red Dragon Hybrid Tae Kwon Do & Yoga Studio that was totally lost by fire. At this time the cause is 'undetermined'.


Hello, thank you for taking the time to read and share our news. My name is Kayla, my husband and I own RF Mobile Service and we were moving into the office building next door and had a couple thousand dollars of furniture that is gone, but the real story and support needed is for my brother and sister-in-law, Paul and Jamie Faulkiner, who own Red Dragon Hybrid Tae Kwon Do in Moundsville, WV.


Paul Faulkiner is a Marine veteran and Jamie is an active member at the Strand Theater, both are active Toys for Tots vendors and take college classes in their spare time. They have 2 boys still living at home, who were both taking classes at the studio.


On Friday, March 7th, 2025, the building where their businesses were located caught on fire. The building completely burnt to the ground and everything was lost to the flames.


I am asking on their behalf to help start a replacement fund for all of the equipment, mats, weapons, weights and exercise equipment items, belts, gloves, and other miscellaneous items needed. In addition, irreplacable items were lost as well, his grandfathers Korean war medals, Paul's first guitar, and childhood belts that he worked so hard to achieve throughout his years. Everything is gone.


These items are used for the kids in taking their classes and bettering their physical, personal, and moral skills and abilities. This will also help in finding a new studio or building for rent or purchasing in order for classes and upcoming tournaments to continue during this difficult time.


We want all of the kids and adults to continue to participate in classes, but in order to do this effectively, equipment and practice space is neccessary. Roughly 50 individuals were affected by this awful situation.


Thank you to all first responders, police, volunteers, friends, and family for the overwhelming amount of love and support being received at this most trying time for the Faulkiner, Tae Kwon Do, and Yoga Family. We are extremely thankful noone was in the building and there were no casualties!


Every donation will make a difference as they start the long road of rebuilding and recovery. If you are unable to contribute financially, your prayers and sharing of this campaign with others would mean the world to the Faulkiner family. Together we can lift them up in this difficult season and remind them that they are not alone.
