Keon Jules and daughter displaced due to fire

Donation protected
Hello, my name is David and I'd like to help a coworker and personal friend Keon, who was displaced from his home due to a fire in their building. Keon is an Amherst local who works with me at The Spoke. He is a single father who needs our help, after him and his daughter had to leave behind their apartment and nearly all of their possessions, which were destroyed in a fire yesterday. Thankfully they are both safe, but unfortunately have lost nearly everything they own. Keon and his daughter have currently been placed by the Red Cross to temporarily live in a hotel. I'd like to share this fundraiser with friends, family, and friends of friends, to help the two of them with at least the cost of replacing daily necessities, and hopefully even provide enough to assist with a deposit on finding a new apartment in the area. The only items they were able to save/recover which were not damaged by fire/smoke/water were their laptops, phones, the clothes they were wearing, and a few extra t-shirts.

The items which immediately need to be purchased:
  • Clothing and shoes for Keon
  • Clothing and shoes for his daughter
  • Hygiene / comfort products
  • Work/school supplies and items

Further costs to be covered in the near future:
  • Security deposit and expenses for securing a new apartment
  • Basic furnishings for a new apartment

Keon is a good coworker, and friends with many of us in the area. Let's all do what we can to help him through this unfortunate circumstance. He and his daughter would greatly benefit from any small act of kindness. They have already lost irreplaceable and sentimental posessions and lost the place they called home. Seeing them through this situation without the additional burden of financial concerns would make a huge difference to them both. Let's see what we can do together to help!!
