Last Thursday started like any normal day. My mom left for work expecting to come home that evening, just like always. But when she got back… her apartment was gone. A fire had taken everything. In a matter of hours, my mom and my little sister lost their home, their clothes, their memories everything they had built over the years. Even their beloved cat still has not been located. Now they’re left with nothing but faith, trying to figure out how to start over from scratch. My mom is one of the hardest-working people I know. She’s always been the one to show up for others, to help when someone else is in need. She never imagined she’d be in a position like this. Right now, they need help with the basics clothes, food, a place to stay, and eventually rebuilding their lives piece by piece. We’re asking for anything you can give. Even a few dollars can help them take the first steps toward getting back on their feet. And if you’re not able to donate, sharing this would mean everything to us. Thank you for taking the time to read this, and for any support you can give during this incredibly difficult time.
