Entire Immediate Family Dead and House Burnt Down

I am Anthony Swartz, age 24. On April 28th, my entire immediate family passed away do to unnatural and gruesome causes.

My mother Tiffany Shobert, age 41.

My father John Shobert, age 63.

My brother Johnathon Shobert, age 15.

My sister Charlotte Shobert, age 2.

My mother and John got together when I was only two years old, I consider him my father. I still have my mother's maiden name, Swartz. We never got to change it to Shobert like we planned. Johnathon and Charlotte were my mother and John's children. My siblings. I changed their diapers, I held both of them in my arms and loved them more than life.

Losing a single one of these people would have been a terrible tragedy. We are left without answers regarding the circumstance and costs on our shoulders. I spent my entire life with these people, they were the love of my life and my best friends.

We ask for your assistance.

I originally did not want to open something like this at all, but after encouragement from loved ones and the risk of potential scams attempting to profit from our loss, we have decided to open an official outlet for those who wish to support our family in this devastating time.

We would like to, at minimum, cover the costs we face, funeral and non, including finishing off their car payments, as well as bring the remaining family together to morn their passing and celebrate their life. Much of our family is separated by a large distance. We also need to repair priceless family heirlooms, belongings, and photos damaged by the fire.

Perhaps, if we manage to raise enough, we could put it toward doing things in their honor such as some sort of memorial, hobbies and interests they had that we would like to continue in their absence, perhaps professionally, and maybe toward a piece of land, where we could combine the remains of our loved ones underneath a "family tree", where they could give birth to new life as was their wish. This would also allow the surviving family dog, Coco, to have the room to run he deserves. I'm thinking of investing into stone carving materials and tools, as they aspired to sculpt professionally under the name "Stone by Shobert".

We plan to make use of every cent donated toward this fundraiser in ways that honor my family and support remaining family and loved ones. Please share this as much as possible to help us meet our goals.

Thank you to all who have donated so far, it really has made a difference in our situation.
