find a home after devastating fire

Hi, my name is Andrea. On October 18, 2023, the home my friend Mark Baroody and 4 others were renting was destroyed by fire, and his dear friend was killed in the fire. Mark and his son, Chad tried valiantly to get Barbara to safety, but she was trapped by a mattress engulfed in flames.

Mark has a terminal disease, pulmonary hypertension, which is fatal 100% of the time unless one is fortunate enough to receive a double heart/lung transplant. Marks doctors have told him because of his age, he is not eligible for a transplant. Additionally, Mark's son Chad is disabled with paranoid schizophrenia, and Mark is his only family.

Mark had been a successful business owner and generous donor to causes in his community before illness forced him to lose almost everything to care for himself and his son. How can a once vibrant man, with such a kind heart and gentle spirit end up homeless due to a fire?

The money raised will provide Mark and Chad with a home to rent. As I said, Mark's disease is terminal and only God knows how much longer he has, but as a community, I am asking to please help him find comfort for himself and Chad. I feel like something positive has to come from this tragedy. Thank you for your support.
