Help Serita's Family overcome Disaster after Tragedy

Donation protected
On June 25, 2024 tragedy struck our friend Serita Smith and her family. During a severe storm early that morning a tree fell and destroyed their home. The family was left with the clothes on their backs; most of their possessions were destroyed. Juan (19), Serita (41), and Earnest (50) all suffered injuries that morning but are expected to make a full recovery. Unfortunately, the home is uninhabitable thus leaving them homeless. Sadly, Juan lost every possession he had as the tree fell through his room and onto him while sleeping in bed. The rest of the home is severely water damaged.

I can only imagine the fear and strength Serita experienced knowing her child was in danger and taking immediate action to get him to safety. Now, they pray for strength as they navigate how to rebuild.

As a community; friends, coworkers, let's help lift her and her family up during this terrible time. This Go Fund Me will be used to collect donations for new beds, clothes, furniture, and finding a new home for Serita and her family. If you are able, please consider donating even if it's just a few dollars, to help this family find a new path to move forward.
