Support Jessica and Briana in Their Time of Need

Donation protected
Hello dear friends and family -- I need to ask for a show of love and support. On Sunday our daughter Jessica, her partner Briana, and their dogs very fortunately escaped a significant fire in the apartment unit above theirs. They left everything behind, not knowing the outcome.

Since the unit on fire was above them, theirs was ruined. Firehose water flooded down into their unit - through the light fixtures, windows, and floor. The smell of the smoke and days of molding water everywhere is not only unhealthy, but truly emotionally devastating. So much is gone of the home they built together for years.

They are two of the kindest, most loving people that I know. And this is simply awful. They need money to replace "things" and mostly they need money as they are missing work and Jess is in college full time and working. These funds will give them a little breathing space to emotionally recover and pay their expenses/rent/etc. If you are able to help, no matter how big or small, can you help me show them love and support?

(Yes, they do have rental insurance. But it will take a long time and hardly puts a dent into it. Yes, very fortunately they were able to move into another apartment yesterday.)

THANK YOU SO MUCH!!

(NOTE: I changed the target amount as I didn't realize how much gofundme took. My goal was to get them $10K. So I upped it to cover that cost. Thank you.)
