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.
