Help a Family of 7 Rebuild After House Fire

Donation protected
A family of 7 displaced by a terrible house fire.

On October 4th and 5th, 2024, our family home and all our personal belongings were destroyed by an electrical fire that started in the attic. Thankfully, no one was injured and everyone in our family is safe, but we are now without a home or belongings.

Originally, the fire started on October 4th, 2024, in the attic and was contained to about 25% of the roof. Shortly after the fire dept left we noticed the couch had some smoldering embers and called them back out which they then extinguished the couch. We left the house with just a few clothes as we had planned to return the next day and get the rest of our belongings and place them in storage. However, at about 4:00 AM on October 5th, we got a call that the house was on fire again, and this time the entire structure was engulfed in flames. At the end of it all we had less than 5% of our belongings left.

We have 5 kids, aged between 3 months and 13 years, so any help is greatly appreciated in replacing everything that was lost in this terrible tragedy. All funds raised will be going to Frank and his family to help them rebuild
