On **July 17, 2026**, our lives changed in an instant when a devastating apartment fire in **St. Louis Park, Minnesota**, destroyed everything my friend's family owned.

This is the same fire that many of you may have seen on the news. In just a matter of minutes, they lost their home, their car, and nearly everything they had. Thankfully, my friend and her older sister made it out alive, but they escaped with only the clothes on their backs.

The fire took everything—their clothing, furniture, important documents, personal belongings, family keepsakes, jewelry, savings, and so much more. My friend also has diabetes, and although her medication and medical supplies were destroyed in the fire, her insurance has since helped replace them.

Although they have insurance, it will take time before they receive assistance for many of their other losses. In the meantime, they are starting over from nothing and need immediate help with temporary housing, clothing, food, transportation, replacing essential household items, and other daily necessities as they begin rebuilding their lives.

If you are able to donate, no amount is too small, and every contribution will make a difference. If you're unable to donate, simply sharing this fundraiser with your family and friends would mean the world to us.

Thank you for taking the time to read their story and for keeping them in your thoughts and prayers. Your kindness, generosity, and support will help them begin the long journey of rebuilding after this heartbreaking tragedy.

**My name is Nori Mohamed, and I am organizing this fundraiser on behalf of my friend, Wardah Sabire, after the apartment fire in St. Louis Park. Wardah has asked me to manage this fundraiser for her during this difficult time. All funds raised will be transferred directly to Wardah and used for temporary housing, food, clothing, transportation, replacing essential household items, and other recovery expenses as she and her family rebuild their lives.**
