On Wednesday, March 11, our family’s world changed forever.

A devastating house fire in Austin, Texas took the lives of three beautiful children from the family and left their parents, Jeremy and Samantha, along with their youngest baby, fighting for their lives in the hospital.

No family should ever have to endure a loss like this. In a single moment, this loving family lost their home, three of their precious children, and the life they knew.

Jeremy and Samantha’s story began long before they became parents—they were high school sweethearts who built their life together around God, love, family, and devotion to their children.

The family is incredibly close and surrounded by a large, tight-knit support system. Their lives revolve around their children and the activities that brought them joy. They are the kind of family who always showed up—for each other and for those around them.

Samantha is known as a true “mama bear”—fiercely protective, endlessly loving, and always putting her children first. Jeremy is equally devoted to his family. He is known for being passionate, hardworking, and deeply dedicated to providing for and caring for the people he loves most.

Together, they built their home on faith, filled with love, laughter, and the beautiful chaos that comes with raising a family.

The three children we lost brought so much light and love into the world.

Aniyah (10 yrs) was strong-willed, kind, and incredibly funny. She was the best big sister anyone could ask for—always looking out for her younger siblings and protecting them with a heart full of love.

Athena (7 yrs) was a true girly girl with a big personality. She was silly, outgoing, and always ready to go on the next adventure. Her laughter and energy filled every room she entered.

Jeremy Jr (5 yrs) was smart, strong, and sweet. He had a gentle spirit that everyone adored, and some of his favorite things in the world were simple joys—like bananas and blueberries.

Their absence leaves a space in our hearts that can never be filled.

As Jeremy, Samantha, and Aria (3 yrs) fight to recover in the hospital, the road ahead will be long and incredibly difficult. Our family is asking for help to support them through this unimaginable time.

Funds raised will help with burial expenses for the children, medical expenses, temporary housing, and the ongoing physical and mental health care the family will need as they begin the long journey toward healing.

This fundraiser is being organized to ease the financial burden so the family can focus on recovery, grieving, and being together.

No amount can undo the heartbreak this family is experiencing, but your kindness and support can help carry them through the days ahead.

If you are able, please consider donating. If you cannot give, sharing this fundraiser and keeping this family in your thoughts and prayers means more than words can express.
