On Wednesday, April 15, 2026, my parents lost their home in a devastating fire. They built this house themselves, without the help of a contractor. Every board, nail, wall, etc., was placed by my parents or very close friends and family. This was my childhood home. Over the years, it became the home where my siblings and I gathered with my parents for holidays and celebrations. There were so many good memories had here: engagements, pregnancy announcements, graduations—the list goes on. Now they are faced with the task of starting over. Any support you can provide will go toward immediate needs such as lodging and clothing and eventually clean up and rebuilding. We are so thankful there were no injuries. Thank you in advance for those willing to help!
note: There were two families affected by this tragedy. This fundraiser is only for the owners of the house. Another family was renting out a small portion of the backside of the house. Please reach out to the other family to see how to help them.
