Help Koontz Family Rebuild After Tragic House Fire
Donation protected
My name is Ashley and I set up this gofundme to bring hope and financial help to the Koontz family. They are friends and neighbors of ours whose house burned down in the middle of the night (Feb 22, 2025) due to an outdoor electrical short that caught their deck on fire and exploded a propane tank. Because the fire started outside, it did not trip the smoke alarm and they woke up with only seconds to spare before the house was engulfed in flames. God was watching over them because everyone, including the dog, made it out safely; however, every single thing they owned is now gone. They are a family of five — husband, wife, and three daughters. They’re working with the insurance company to get their house rebuilt, but they literally have nothing and have to start all over. We are collecting clothes for them, but it is going to be very expensive to replace everything they lost in the fire, so we're trying to help raise money to help them rebuild their home and buy what they need. They're really good people — our little girls go to school together and are really good friends.
If you can afford to chip in any amount to help them get back on their feet--it would be so greatly appreciated. God bless you and thank you so much!
