I am starting this GoFundMe on behalf of my niece, Valerie.

On the evening of July 4th, 2025, she lost her house and all belongings due to the negligence of a neighbor with fireworks. Luckily, she, her boyfriend, and her children (one being of special needs) were able to get out safely. However, she and the children are without clothing, blankets, pillows, beds, and toys. They are also getting very little to no help from the Red Cross with finding a place to stay. She has been told she will need to pay upfront for a hotel stay. Please consider donating anything you can to help them get through this.
