On September 13, 2025 our family experienced a devastating fire that damaged our home. In just a few hours, we lost not only the structure we built memories in, but also many of the belongings that carried pieces of our lives. We are a small family of four, with two wonderful kids who are still trying to make sense of it all. Overnight, they lost their rooms, their toys, their school supplies — the little things that made them feel at home. Watching them struggle to adjust has been the hardest part of this journey.

We are deeply thankful that we all made it out safely, but now we face the daunting task of rebuilding from the ground up. The house needs major work and the costs of reconstruction, replacing essentials and getting the children settled again are far beyond what we can manage on our own. We’re asking for your support ; whether through donations, sharing this campaign, or keeping us in your prayers. Every contribution will go directly toward rebuilding our home and restoring a stable, loving space where our children can heal and feel safe again.

We are reaching out with humble hearts to ask for your support. Every contribution,big or small will go directly towards rebuilding our home, restoring a safe place for our family, and helping us get back on our feet.

Your kindness, prayers and generosity mean the world to us. Thank you for standing with us in this difficult time and for being part of our journey to rise from the ashes.

With love and gratitude,

Carlette & Donald Matthew
