My name is Joanne Dawkins. With a heavy heart, I organize this GoFundMe for my brother, Steven Antoine, his wife, Valerie Antoine, and their three children Siena (age 11) and Ellis and Avery (ages 6).

On the evening of February 28th, a fire began in the upper part of the house and quickly spread throughout their entire home. Thankfully, everyone escaped safely, only managing to promptly put on their coats and shoes as their house became engulfed with flames. First responders quickly came to the scene and put out the fire. However, nearly all of their belongings were lost due to this tragedy.

Steven and Valerie recently opened up their own personal training and physical therapy business in New Jersey. Siena, a sweet and bubbly young lady, has made the honor roll consecutively in school. The twins, Ellis and Avery, are the most lovable, energetic, and caring children you could ever meet.

Please assist with any contributions that will help them move forward in processing and handling this devastating event as a family. With an urgent need for food, clothing, toiletries, and finding a new home, I ask for any help you can give as they deal with this loss. Thank you in advance for your amazing support and unconditional love towards the Antoine family.

With heartfelt gratitude,

Joanne Dawkins
