On July 25, 2025, our son Brian experienced a heartbreaking loss when a fast-moving fire tore through his apartment complex. We are incredibly grateful that Brian and his beloved cat, Winston, escaped unharmed, but the damage was catastrophic.
The fire began in a nearby field when a lawnmower sparked dry grass. Strong winds quickly carried the flames into the apartment buildings, which have now been declared unsafe to re-enter. Brian lost everything except what he was wearing - furniture, appliances, clothing, daily essentials, and the irreplaceable items that made his place his home.
While we are so thankful for his safety, the emotional and financial toll of starting over is immense. Brian now faces the challenge of rebuilding his life from scratch, and we want to help ease that burden.
We’ve created this GoFundMe to support Brian as he begins the long road to recovery. Your donation will go directly toward helping him secure housing, replace essential belongings, and begin to rebuild a sense of normalcy.
If you’re unable to contribute financially but would still like to help, we are also coordinating household donations on his behalf. Furniture, kitchenware, linens, and other essentials are deeply appreciated. Please reach out to us directly via email, text, or DM if you’d like to donate items.
Your kindness and support mean the world to us. Every contribution, no matter the size, will help Brian take one step closer to feeling at home again.
Thank you for being part of his healing journey.
