Help Rebuild Dwaine, Lori, and Nikkis Life After Tragedy.

Friday November 1st at the wee hours of the morning, this family's life was flipped upside down in the blink of an eye. Nikki, who is 8 months pregnant, had been separated from her boyfriend, Chad, for months. But Chad refused to accept her decision to end the relationship. That night, he took Nikki and her children at gunpoint, and after subjecting Nikki to unspeakable violence, he forced the family into their van, which he then stole.

Nikki and her children lived with her parents, Dwaine and Lori, and it was their home that Chad then burned to the ground. To say their world was turned upside down is an understatement.

Their lives were saved by Nikki’s two middle children, who ran barefoot in the dark to a neighbor’s house, desperate for help. Tragically, when Lyle, the neighbor, confronted Chad to protect the family, Chad shot and killed him.

Though Chad was apprehended and Nikki and her children were ultimately saved, the trauma and emotional damage they have endured is going to last them a lifetime. The family has lost everything in the fire and has no insurance to help them start over.

Please, if you can't donate monetarily, please please pray for this family and spread the word. Every show of support makes a difference as they begin this difficult journey to recovery.
