FIRE: CHILDREN Perished & HOME Lost; NO Insurance

Donation protected
Your donations will HELP with funeral costs, counseling expenses, paying for basic needs like food, shelter, and clothing, medication, rebuilding their home, and other unexpected expenses that we haven't yet considered.

My name is Adam Cole and this family includes my brother, sister, niece, and two nephews.

Daniel and Carissa Smythe lost their three sweet children Ethan (16), Danny (13), and Bella (12) to a house fire in the early morning of November 13, 2023. The home appears to be completely destroyed.

Because Daniel had recently changed jobs, there were no life insurance policies on the three children. Additionally, the home was not insured either.

To lose a house is devastating. To experience the loss of a home to a fire while you're in it with your family barely out of reach is unimaginable. To lose a child is one of the worse experiences fathomable. To lose all three at the same time? There. are. no. words. On this horrific day, my family experienced all of this with no apparent financial recourse ahead of them.

Please consider rallying around my incredible sister and brother-in-law during such an unbelievable experience. Community is what makes humanity so great. Help me overwhelm them with love and hope in such a frightening and despairing time.

Thank you, Adam.
