Support the Shields Family After Tragic House Fire

Donation protected
In the early morning hours of April 24, 2025, Katie and Jesse Shields and their children tragically lost their home and all of their belongings in a devastating house fire. In an instant, everything they had worked so hard for was reduced to ashes, leaving them with nothing but the clothes on their backs. All humans made it out safely, but they unfortunately lost two of their beloved furry family members and one is still missing.

Katie and Jesse are the kind of people who always go above and beyond to help others. They’re known for their kindness, generosity, and unconditional support to those in need.

As they begin the overwhelming task of rebuilding their lives, but this tragedy has left them with nothing but the clothes they ran out of the house in. We’re asking for your help. Every donation, big or small, will go directly to helping the family get back on their feet—whether it's for temporary housing, replacing essential items, or rebuilding their future.

We know that they would never ask for this help themselves. With your support, we can show them that they are not alone during this incredibly difficult time. Please consider donating to help Katie, Jesse, Gunner, and Kennedy start over. Your generosity will make a world of difference.

Thank you for your love, prayers, and support during this heartbreaking time.
