Restore Hope for a Family Devastated by Tragedy

TOTAL CARNAGE ⛪️ As a prideful father, husband, and warrior, it's hard to ask for help. My family of 4, two small boys Matteo (7) and Myles (3), lost everything: our home , our church ⛪️, and their school . We had to sleep in the car a few nights because of looters and no power. Our family pet, Griffon, had to be put down. I had to be a first responder ⛑️ to my neighbor who collapsed from a potential heart attack . The stress, drama, devastation, lack of sleep, and adrenaline aren't sustainable. Never in my life have I had to ask for help, but this one is breaking my spirit more for my young kids . People say it's just 'stuff.' Your structure is called a house; the contents, love, and memories inside are called a home, and sadly we lost our home . Baby photos, clothes, beds , toys , my father's ashes , wedding photos —wiped clean. I always thought I'd proudly set up a GoFundMe when I started a great business or had a patent , but I humbly and graciously ask for your support, prayers, and words of encouragement . The kindness of others is what keeps us going. I'm outta tears and realize I need to be strong for my family . God bless you!!
