We are reaching out with heavy hearts to ask for support for our daughter Hannah, Justin, Theo, Jaise, and their sweet dog Ames.

Three weeks ago, they settled into what they hoped would be a peaceful new home. But just days ago, a fire in the apartment below theirs filled their unit with smoke, destroying nearly all of their belongings and leaving their home unsafe to return to.

Most heartbreaking of all, their dog Ames was inside during the incident and suffered smoke inhalation. He required 48 hours of emergency veterinary care, and while he is thankfully recovering, him being trapped in the apartment during that time added another layer of stress to an already overwhelming situation.

Because of the damage, they cannot move back into their apartment and now have to find a new place to live. On top of losing their possessions, they are now facing moving costs all over again—only a few weeks after their initial move.

As many of us know, this is an especially hard time of year for something like this to happen. With the holidays approaching, they are doing their best to stay strong for their boys, but the financial strain is very real. Any support—whether it’s a donation, a share, or a kind message—means more than we can express.

We are deeply grateful for any help you can offer as they work to rebuild, replace what was lost, and create a safe and stable home again for their family.

Thank you, from the bottom of our hearts, for your kindness and generosity.

Dan and Jody
