Espada Family Relief Fund

Donation protected
By now, you've heard the tragedy the Espada family has encountered over the last couple of days.  The neighbor behind their house had something catch fire and quickly spread to neighboring homes, including the Espada's.

Anyone who knows Kit knows that she is a Queen of Halloween!  This fire burned through Kit's Halloween stuff before the fire department could do anything. The garage and all of its contents including her tools are gone. The tent that had all of her costumes and mannequins is also a total loss. Aside from some skellies in another tent that was also melted, nothing is left.

The fire was so intense, it also damaged their house.  It's pretty trashed.  It's not all burnt, but they cannot live there right now.  Since the fire, they have moved into a hotel for the next couple months. Their pets are all stationed at Kit's parents. They really don’t have room at the hotel.

Kit said in a recent Facebook post, "The Halloween stuff I lost isn’t just stuff, it’s part of my identity, who I am, and what makes me feel good inside. The things I have collected over the years are now lost and aren’t replaceable, like the tools."  Needless to say, she is absolutely devastated.

This GoFundMe is to help them get back on their feet.  While we cannot replace what was lost, we can at least help take some of the financial burden off their shoulders and help them start to heal, move on, and rebuild.  

Anything you can give is greatly appreciated.

PS:  The Espada's will receive 100% of the money that is collected here.  A bit about me for those who don't know who I am.  I am a friend of Kit's through the Halloween Community and have known her for a number of years and occasionally have gotten together at various conventions.
