Oklahoma Wildfire Relief for the Bolene Family
Donation protected
Hi everyone,
I’m reaching out for support for my fiancée’s parents (the Bolene family) who just lost their longtime home in the wildfire that tore through Stillwater, Oklahoma. They unfortunately didn't have a chance to save anything from their home as the wildfire spread rapidly across the town amid extremely high winds and dry conditions. The family is safe and currently staying in a hotel as they figure out how to recover from this devastating loss.
The Bolenes are incredibly hardworking, humble, and kind people, and just recently opened a small business in town selling house plants (Plants & Co. Collective). Their home was the heart of their family, and losing it so suddenly has been overwhelming. While they are staying strong, now more than ever they could use a helping hand to get back on their feet.
We’re raising funds to help them start to recover—whether that means securing stable housing, replacing essentials, or simply staying fed as they figure out where to go from here. Any support, big or small, would mean the world.
If you’re unable to donate, sharing this fundraiser would still go a long way. Thank you for your kindness and generosity—it truly means everything.
With gratitude,
Patrick
