Dear friends, family, and compassionate strangers,

My sister Gina and I come to you today with heavy hearts to share the devastating news of Rosemary and Tina's loss. Mama Rose and Tina have been lifelong friends to us and many others.

A recent fire completely destroyed their cherished home, which was Rose's childhood home. It has left them with nothing but ashes and rubble. Alongside the heartbreaking loss of their home, they are mourning the tragic passing of their beloved dogs, Millie and River, as well as Shadow and her three-week-old kittens. They witnessed a firefighter giving CPR to the dogs, but unfortunately the smoke was too much.

Rosemary and Tina are facing an unimaginable amount of grief and loss. Not only have they lost their physical sanctuary, but they are also grappling with the emotional toll of losing their dear animal companions.

As friends and a community, we want to rally around Rosemary and Tina during this difficult time. While material possessions can be replaced, the love and memories they shared with their pets and in their home are irreplaceable. Your support can help alleviate some of the immediate financial burdens they are facing, including finding temporary shelter and replacing essentials.

Any contribution, no matter the size, will make a significant difference in helping Rosemary and Tina rebuild their lives. Your kindness and generosity will serve as a beacon of hope in their darkest hour.

Thank you for considering donating and sharing this fundraiser with others who may be able to help. Together, we can provide comfort and support to Rosemary and Tina as they navigate through this tragedy.

With heartfelt gratitude,

Chrissy
