Update: Unfortunately Brendan's insurance will only be paying out a quarter of the loss & because of this we are raising the goal to try and supplement at least something to help him during this time. To be clear he not only lost his home but his entire business in the fire.

Hi, my name is Teressa & Brendan is my uncle. Last night, a fire started near his home and completely ravenged everything in the area including his home, all ten acres, his shop where he ran his business out of, and much more. The cover photo is what is left of his home.

Brendan, his girlfriend Kathy & my baby cousin "little B" barely escaped with their dogs with literally only the clothes on their backs. Brendan was hospitalized but thankfully will make a full recovery.

We can not give them their home, business and life belongings back but we are hoping to help them at least get some clothes, food and small things they need while they figure out what to do next.

Brendan's source of income was ran completely out of his shop where all of his tools lived and Kathy worked from her home office. Little B will be starting back to school for fourth grade in just a few weeks.

If anyone would prefer to send items to help, please reach out to me and I can work on an Amazon wishlist to help them too.

I can't begin to thank you guys so much just for reading. If you can donate, share or even send some positive vibes we appreciate everything.
