Help the Baxter Family Recover After a Devastating Fire
Donation protected
In the early hours of May 26, around 1:30 AM, tragedy struck the Baxter family when a fire engulfed their detached garage and reduced it to ashes. Robert, Dawn, and their adult daughter Bridgette lost not only a critical part of their home but also countless sentimental possessions that had been lovingly collected over the years.
The garage held more than just tools and equipment—it was a space that stored irreplaceable family memories, Robert’s fishing gear, their snow blower, essential tools, and other everyday items that supported their home and lifestyle. The intense heat from the blaze also caused damage to their home, warping the siding and further increasing the financial burden they now face.
The Baxters are a humble, close-knit family living on a fixed income. Dawn battles serious and ongoing medical issues, requiring constant care and frequent doctor visits. The unexpected destruction from this fire has left them shaken and struggling to make ends meet.
We are reaching out to the community in hopes of rallying around this wonderful family during their time of need. Every donation—big or small—will help them begin the process of recovery: replacing essential items, repairing their home, and navigating the aftermath of this heartbreaking loss.
Please consider supporting the Baxter family as they work to rebuild and move forward. If you can’t donate, sharing this page and keeping them in your thoughts means the world.
Thank you for your kindness and compassion.
