House of Love and Animals Burned Down

Hello all,

My name is Bella and I am starting this fundraiser for my amazing cousin and his wife. They are parents of 3 boys and a home to many animals. Unfortunately, their house was burned down this morning. Fortunately, everyone is safe and most of the animals survived. All except for their tortoise and two of their baby chickens, who they loved and cared for deeply. Thankfully nobody was home during the accident and my cousin, his wife, and the kids are all okay!

For as long as I have been alive and as long as I have known his wife, they have been the most caring selfless people I have ever known. A lot of these animals are rescued from being abandoned in empty parking lots, unwanted by their owners, and throw out to the streets. My cousins have taken them under their wing and turned their home into a safe loving home for these animals. All of the birds, snakes, dogs, cats, chickens, lizards, ducks, turtles, fish, and a big ole pig were given a loving home that is now sadly ruined. Managing 3 boys and a house of animals is not an easy job but they have always worked so hard for them, and this time I want to be able to help them the same way they have helped so many others. Thank you for taking the time to read this. Anything you can do is appreciated even if it’s just prayers or good wishes. Thank you!

 

A LITTLE UPDATE NOTE: 

All I have to say is wow.. Jay and Brittany are overwhelmed with the love they have received in these last few days. Everyone in the community and people from all over have come together to help my family.  It is so refreshing in these dark times to know that there are genuinely kind and selfless people that exist in this world. They could not be more thankful. To every single person who has donated, shared this post, or just put my family in their thoughts. Thank you thank you thank you. You have given this family not only the ability to repair what’s been lost but to feel hopeful about the future.
