Rebuilding after Tragic Fire: Help Mike & Mily

Donation protected
Hi everyone,

My name is Kayla. I am starting this emergency fundraiser, seeking your support and generosity for my brother, Michael and future sister-in-law, Mily, who have experienced an unimaginable loss. They recently fell victim to a devastating apartment fire that consumed everything they owned, including their beloved dog, Zara. As they navigate through this harrowing time, we aim to rally around them and help them rebuild their lives.

About Michael and Mily:
Michael and Mily's story is one of love, hope, and resilience. They first met four years ago in May 2019, officially becoming a couple the following month. They’ve lived in the apartment together since November 2020, where they have built a happy home with their two dogs and many foster animals. After their engagement in October 2022, they had been eagerly planning their dream wedding, set to take place next September 2024. However, this tragic fire has dealt them an unexpected blow, leaving them with this unimaginable heartbreak.

For all that know Mike and Mily, they are both kind, compassionate and generous people. They would do anything for anyone. The impact of this disaster extends far beyond the loss of their cherished belongings. The fire has also taken a toll on their finances, leaving them without a place to call home, and putting their wedding plans in jeopardy with the sudden burden of replacing essentials, finding a new home, and covering unforeseen expense.

We, as their friends and loved ones, refuse to let this setback define their future. With this GoFundMe campaign, we aim to raise as many funds as possible to assist Michael and Mily in replacing their lost belongings and rebuilding their lives. Moreover, we want to ensure that their dream of a beautiful wedding becomes a reality, helping them create new memories and celebrate their love in the face of adversity.

Your Support Matters:
By contributing to this campaign, you have the power to make a profound difference. Every dollar raised will go directly towards replacing essential items, securing a new home, and revitalizing their wedding plans. Your generosity will not only provide them with the means to recover, but it will also instill hope and remind them that they are not alone in their journey toward rebuilding their lives.

Thank you for your compassion and generosity.
