Help Francis and Sarah Recover From a House Fire

Hi everyone,

We're reaching out to you today for Francis and Sarah, who recently faced a fire that left their home and all their belongings in ruins. The silver lining is that everyone, including Sarah's mother, daughter Natalie (17), and their son Oliver (6), got out unharmed. However, they now find themselves starting completely from scratch as everything in their home has been lost.

They were home in their duplex when the fire started on their neighbor’s side from a grill that was left unattended. Francis tried to put out the fire while they waited for the fire department to arrive but it had already made its way into the home. They were able to get out of the house before the fire quickly spread, leaving them to watch every parent’s and family’s worst nightmare unfold in front of them.

Francis and Sarah are a hardworking couple who put their family first. While they’ve stood up to face life’s challenges in the past, nothing can prepare a family for something like this.

Natalie is a very bright senior in high school with her future close in her sights. Oliver is a first grader beginning his educational journey with great imagination, a love for his toys, games and stuffies that were all lost in the fire. The fire has not only taken their family home but has shaken their sense of security and stability.

We're kindly asking for your support to help Francis and Sarah and family rebuild their lives. Donations will be used to help with immediate financial needs before insurance kicks in and in addition to supplement where it falls short to cover for the following:

1. Temporary Housing: Providing a safe place for the family to stay while they get back on their feet.

2. Clothing and Essentials: Replacing the basic necessities they lost in the fire.

3. School Supplies: Ensuring that Natalie and Oliver have what they need for their education.

4. Rebuilding Fund: Supporting the family with building a new start by helping them replace household items and secure new housing in the future.

Every contribution, regardless of size, will make a significant impact. If you can't contribute financially, please consider sharing this GoFundMe campaign with your network. The strength of community and the kindness of strangers can be life changing in times like these.

Let's show Francis and Sarah that they're not alone and that there's hope ahead. Your support will provide them with the strength and resources to face the challenges of rebuilding their lives.

Thank you for your compassion and support.

With gratitude,

Family and Friends of Francis and Sarah
