Help Tracy and Her Family Rebuild After house fire
On November 26, my dear friend Tracy experienced a life-changing tragedy. While she was at work, a recalled household item malfunctioned and caught fire, destroying her entire home, everything she and her family owned was gone. Tracy and her two young children have been left with nothing she is a renter and tenants insurance won’t cover even 10% of her belongings
Tracy had to walk away from her home and every memory inside it. Her children’s belongings, family photos, furniture, clothing, and essential supplies & her insurance only covers a fraction of what she lost.
One of Tracy’s children faces significant developmental challenges and requires additional care, support, and consistency in daily routines - all things that have been completely disrupted by this devastating loss. Tracy is an exceptional mother, patient and intuitive, always advocating fiercely for her son and ensuring he has what he needs to thrive. The sudden loss of their home has created challenges far beyond anything she could’ve imagined or prepared for, and Tracy is doing everything she can to keep her children safe, supported, and comforted through the turmoil.
If you know Tracy, you know what an extraordinary human being she is. She is patient, gentle, generous, and has one of the kindest hearts you’ll ever encounter. As a single mother caring for two kids and her aging mom, she carries more on her shoulders than most - and still, she gives so much of herself to others.
Tracy has spent much of her career working as a psychiatric nurse in harm reduction, providing compassionate, frontline care to people most affected by the housing and opioid crisis. She has supported countless individuals through their darkest moments, always showing up with empathy, respect, and unwavering dedication. Now, she is the one who needs community care.
This fundraiser is to help Tracy and her family meet their most urgent needs - clothing, food, temporary housing, essentials for the kids, and eventually the ability to rebuild a home. They have lost literally everything, and every single donation will make an immediate difference.
Please donate if you’re able, and share this with your community. Tracy has spent years caring for others. It’s our turn to care for her.
Thank you for whatever you can do to help.
Tracy has started an Amazon Wish List to help with essentials and future new home basics. She will continue to add to it in the days and weeks ahead. Items are set to be delivered to her sister's house until a new permanent home can be secured. Items are removed from the list as they are purchased. Thank you for anything you can do, even just a share makes a difference. Let's get this family back together!
