Support The Braun-Kavanaugh Family After a House Fire

On May 12, 2025, the Braun/Kavanaugh family experienced an unexpected and devastating house fire that began at their neighbor's home and spread to their home leaving their home uninhabitable. While they are beyond grateful that everyone is safe, the damage to the house was extensive. Their 14 year old daughter, Hailey, lost everything in her bedroom. They’ve now been told that it will take 8 to 12 months before they can return.

The past few weeks have been a whirlwind of loss, stress, and uncertainty. They are working with insurance, but as many know, it only covers so much — and the costs of temporary housing, replacing everyday essentials, and maintaining some normalcy for their family are quickly adding up.

We are reaching out to their community, friends, and loved ones. Any contribution, big or small, will go directly toward:

• Temporary housing for their family

• Replacing essential items lost in the fire (clothing, furniture)

• Making sure the girls have a sense of stability and joy during a very unstable time

If you’re not in a place to donate, we completely understand — even just sharing this page or sending good thoughts will mean the world to them.

From the bottom of our hearts, thank you for your love, support, and generosity as they begin to rebuild — both their home and their lives.

Love,

Melissa, Kristi, and Melissa (Heidi's lifelong friends)
