The Jones Family Housefire

Hi there, my name is Caitlin and Kelsey and Jared and their family are so very near and dear to my family and I hearts. As many of you may know the night of October 21 was one of the scariest things a family can experience. Jared woke up to smoke in their home. Kelsey, recovering from surgery on her ankle was left wobbling herself outside while Jared went inside to get their 4 children and their dogs. After everyone was out safe Jared ran back in to get the fire extinguisher while running outside to catch his breath and running back in to fight this fire, he managed to put it out and save their home. While only part remains burned, their family is left displaced for who knows how long while people being the process of cleaning the damage, rewiring the house, replacing cabinets, countertops etc. They have been temporarily placed in a hotel until a longer term place becomes available while their house is worked on. The financial strain this puts on this WONDERFUL family is nothing but unfair. They are the kindest souls you will encounter and the last thing they deserve is to struggle and stress after losing part of their home and the memories the fire also took with it. I am setting this up in hopes to help alleviate some of their stress in this horrible time. Thank you all for reading. Any amount helps!!!
