Villa Family House Fire
Donation protected
My name is Adrianne Hawthorne and I'm starting this fundraiser for my neighbors, the Villa family. Yesterday, their home of 20+ years caught on fire. The fire began on the second floor, in a rented unit, and quickly grew. Many firefighters were on the scene battling the blaze.

As you can imagine, the Villa family suffered major damage to their home. Everything was destroyed, including structural elements of the buildings like ceilings that are collapsing from water damage.
I know the family and they are the most wonderfully kind people. For this to happen to their home so close to the holidays is truly devastating. I'm hoping this fundraiser will be a way to help them get back on their feet during this awful time.
If you live in Ravenswood / Graceland West (or Chicago for that matter), you may know the Villas through their business, Chicago Dust Bunnies. If you are able to donate even just a small amount, I know it would help. Thank you so much!
