Help Oatmeal and Lesa find hope again

Donation protected

On 9/13 /24, My aunt and her daughter woke up to a blazing fire inside of her home. During this life changing traumatic situation, 3 of her pets were also affected. With a heavy heart, unfortunately 2 of the cats are not accounted for at this present time. One surviving cat that is in critical condition. Two nearby homes were also affected by the raging fire.

My aunt took pride in her home and was very grateful for what she had. Now left without the love of her precious cats, a place to call home, and personal sentimental belongings. The costs that she is facing is astronomical. My aunt and her daughter have suffered burn injuries. One of the surviving cats, Oatmeal, also suffered badly from burns and needs continuous emergency medical attention.

My aunt is currently homeless, and does not have a long term place to live at the present time.

For anyone that knows Lesa, can say without hesitation she has a heart of gold. One of the rarest gems that would give the shirt off her back to help someone. Your generosity would significantly make a difference during this devastating time. The donations will be used to help pay for:

Medical bills including Oatmeal's (the cat)

Everyday essentials - Food, clothes, cat food.

Help secure a place to live



With the support of the community, I believe we can help ease the burden of this traumatic situation. Please share this fundraiser with others. We greatly appreciate every share, contribution, and prayers.


** THANK YOU to the first responders who were called to the scene. Forever grateful for those who put their lives on the line to protect others.**
