Restore Hope for Jesse & James
Donation protected
Hello, I’m Mariah. I’m making this fundraiser on behalf of my brother, Jesse, and my dad, James. On Wednesday, August 7th around 10am, my dad & brother’s home started on fire shortly after they left. Their 5 pets; Huckleberry, Oaklyn, Bootsie, Halo & Cricket unfortunately lost their lives in the fire. It’s not very often that Jesse would leave the house without his best friend, Oaklyn, but this day they were on the way to help out family and decided it would be best to leave her behind. Huckleberry was literally and truly a man’s best friend; incredibly loyal and loving. Bootsie has been our furry family member for 14+ years, and the 2 other kitties, Cricket & Halo, were recently rescued from the farm. They were all loved incredibly dearly and will be missed!
Any funds raised would go immediately for basic necessities for James and Jesse including toiletries, clothing, bedding, food, medications, and etc, as they are starting completely over with nothing but the clothes on their backs.
I would also LOVE to use part of the funds to start a savings for them to get another pet(or 2.. or 3☺️) once they are settled in their new home. A memorial for the furry family members lost would also make a very lovely addition for their burial site on the farm.
Thank you for taking the time to read! If you aren’t able to donate monetarily, please consider donating an easily microwaved/grilled meal or some beverages. Please share!!
