My name is Kristen Cotton and this is my older sister Miranda and her amazing family (from left to right) Matt, Olivia, Devin and Gavin.

On Saturday November 9, 2024 the family  arrived at the arena set for Gavin’s hockey game. Not even 40 minutes being there Miranda received a call that a fire broke out in their home shortly after they left and their house was engulfed.

The firefighters were able to get the two dogs out, one cat was already outside and the other cat is still missing. This family lost everything to the fire. Red Cross is working with them but they can only provide so much. 

I am asking for your aide in providing this family recovery funds to help with their devastating loss. They will need to not only find a way to rebuild a home to call their own but they all need clothes, shoes, toiletries, food, dog food, cat food, blankets, furniture, etc. 

These funds will be provided directly to Miranda and her family.

You can also Venmo Miranda if it’s easier: @Miranda-Paiton

Please, if you cannot provide funds to help at least share this on your platforms to help spread the word. The more that can see this the more that may be able to help.

Hello Everyone,

Thank you so much for your kindness through all of this! My sister and her family are still overwhelmed with the amount of support everyone is showing them.

As of right now, they are all set on clothes, shoes, and dog food. They will need kitchen items at some point and I will update this when they are in need for those items.

Thank you all again!

Kristen
