Help Maggie and Waylon Rebuild After Devastating Fire

Donation protected


Dear friends, family, and kind-hearted strangers,

It is with a heavy heart and great sadness that I reach out to you today. My name is Ciara Wakefield Chapman, and I am Willie Lafrennie's sister. Tragically, my brother Willie passed away in May, leaving behind his beautiful son, Waylon, who is just about to turn two, and his incredible partner, Maggie.

To compound this immense grief, Maggie and Waylon have now experienced another devastating loss. Their home was recently destroyed in a fire. In a time when they have already endured more than anyone should have to, we are asking for your support to help them rebuild their lives.

Maggie is an extraordinary mother, a talented singer, and a skilled dog trainer. She has always faced life's challenges with strength and resilience. Despite the overwhelming hardships, she continues to care for Waylon with love and dedication. But right now, she needs our help.

Waylon, though so young, has already faced the unimaginable loss of his father. His strength and resilience, much like his mother’s, are remarkable, but no child should ever have to go through so much pain. This fire has taken away not just their home but their sense of stability and security.

We are asking for donations to help Maggie and Waylon get back on their feet. These funds will go toward replacing essentials like clothing, food, and temporary housing. Your support, no matter how small, will make an enormous difference in their journey to heal and rebuild.

I can never thank you enough for your kindness during this incredibly difficult time. Every donation, share, and word of encouragement means the world to Maggie, Waylon, and our families.

Happy holidays, and thank you from the bottom of our hearts for your generosity and support.

With love and gratitude,
Ciara Wakefield Chapman
