Support Josh and Jaylynn

On May 18th, Josh and Jaylynn's apartment was destroyed in a fire. The fire displaced Josh, Jaylynn and approximately 10 other people in neighboring apartments. Josh is a fledgling adult at only 21. He recently moved back home to be closer to his mother and sister. Jaylynn is only 11 years old and dealing with significant loss in her life at this point. Their mother had been struggling with mental illness and is no longer able to be a support in their lives. Jaylynn is entering foster care and Josh is seeking a new place to live. They both are in need of significant support, both financial and emotional. At this point, it appears that nothing in the apartment is salvageable, so the most pressing and immediate needs include the following:
1. Clothing for Jaylynn
2. Toys, books, coloring supplies for Jaylynn
3. Clothing suitable for Josh's swing dance performances (as this is his primary source of income)
4. A laptop suitable for playing music and editing video (another source of income for Josh)
5. Security deposit and/or rent funds for Josh

Additionally, a long term foster placement in the greater Seattle area is needed for Jaylynn. Josh would like to remain a significant part of her life but cannot support her independently at this point. 

All donated funds will go to the above listed needs and any extra funds will be further used to support Jaylynn and Josh in rebuilding their lives.

Additionally, if you would like to donate gift cards, physical items or time, please feel free to contact me (Hannah Meier) to coordinate this. 

Josh, Jaylynn and those supporting them will be forever thankful for any and all support you can offer. These are two amazing individuals with promising lives ahead of them.

GoFundMe has requested that I add the following information: I am Hannah Meier, a friend and former teacher of Josh's. I am in Mountlake Terrace, WA, outside of Seattle. All funds are being directly deposited into Josh's account at regular intervals.
