Our aunt her family lost everything in a devastating house fire on February 16, 2025. While they thankfully escaped safely, their home and all possessions were a total loss. They are currently without permanent housing and need immediate assistance to help rebuild their lives.
The funds raised will help cover:
- Temporary housing costs while they secure a permanent home
- Essential items like clothing, toiletries, and household basics
- Down payment for a new rental property
- Replacing basic furniture and appliances
- Other immediate living expenses during this transition
Our goal of $10,000 will help this family of three bridge the gap while working through their insurance claim. Here's how the funds will be used:
Temporary Housing Support ($5,000) Your donations will help cover immediate housing needs including:
- Extended stay hotel costs while seeking rental housing
- Security deposit and first month's rent for temporary housing
- Basic utility deposits and setup fees
Essential Daily Needs ($3,200) The family needs to replace basic daily necessities including:
- Basic clothing for work and daily life for three people
- Personal care items and toiletries
- Household basics like bedding, towels, and kitchen essentials
- Groceries and household supplies
Emergency Fund ($1,800) This will provide a small safety net for:
- Transportation costs during this transition period
- Unexpected expenses that may arise
- Additional housing costs if needed
While insurance will help with long-term recovery, your immediate support will help this family maintain stability during this challenging transition. Every donation, no matter the size, will make a meaningful difference.
We will post updates as the family works to rebuild their lives. Thank you for any help you can provide.
