Recently, my dad lost his home and everything he owned in a house fire. While we're beyond grateful that he made it out safely, the damage is total, and now we're facing the reality of starting from scratch.

There are significant costs ahead, including clearing the lot, removing debris, and beginning the process of rebuilding. On top of that, he needs to replace all the basics — clothing, furniture, kitchen items, and other daily essentials.

Although my dad was hesitant to do a fundraiser, the reality is he needs some help to ease the financial burden of rebuilding his life. He has always been a generous guy, who has been there for his family and friends, so I know his community will come together to help him in his time of need. Any amount you can give will make a real difference and help him begin to rebuild his life. Thank you so much for your support, kindness, and generosity.

Dear Family,  Friends (and Many that I've Never Met).
 
Re:  The Big Fire
 
Wow.  What a lucky guy I am!  An odd thing to say from someone who lost virtually "everything"  - to a nasty ceiling fan electrical fire.  But, I truly am lucky and fortunate.  Just the fact that I had several empty homes available to me - homes that I could move into immediately - speaks!  We are like family in my neighborhood, 
 
The help, love and support that I have received from all of you is amazing and heartfelt.  You have touched me deeply.   
Thank you so, so much for your immense help, kindness and generosity.  I'm pleased to report that  I am doing well, all things considered...and on my way toward rebuilding my life - and having a much, much easier road in doing so, thanks to all of you and your help, support and generosity. 
 
I may have lost roughly 100% of everything I own - but I gained one heck of an of an experience in human kindness. People I've never even met are helping me out.  It's unbelievable.
 
Thank you so, so much for everything!,  I am truly blessed to have such awesome people in my life.
 
Thanks!
 
Barry
 
 
P.S.  I lost all of my cell phone contacts.  Please send me a text and identify yourself, so I can add you back into my contacts.  Thank you!
