The Gaines family get back home

Donation protected
Hello, my name is Anthony Gaines , and I’m a father of four wonderful kids. I’ve always worked hard to provide a safe and stable home for my family, but recently, life took a devastating turn.

On September 7th, we suffered a house fire. At first, I thought it was an electrical issue, and I immediately set to work repairing the damage. I gutted the parts of the house affected by the fire, and I was making good progress—about 50-60% of the way to getting us back home. I was just starting the drywall work and other finishing touches, determined to rebuild and get us all back under one roof.

Then, on October 28th, tragedy struck a second time. Another fire broke out, and this one was even more heartbreaking than the first. It made me believe that the first fire may not have been an accident at all. Two fires have taken everything we worked so hard for, and I’m devastated.

This isn’t easy for me. I’m not used to asking for help, but this time, I can’t do it alone. I’m reaching out to anyone willing to lend a hand, no matter how small. Every bit will go toward bringing my kids back to a safe home where we can start fresh together.

Thank you for taking the time to read our story and for any support you can offer. It means the world to me and my family.
