Support Keya Tesch's Family After Devastating Fire

Dear friends, family, and compassionate strangers,

My best friend, Keya Tesch and her family are facing an unimaginable tragedy. This morning, December 5th, their home was destroyed in a devastating fire while Keya was out buying donuts for her six children. Thankfully, everyone is safe, but they have lost everything—clothing, furniture, cherished belongings, and the place they called home.

This family of 9 consists of Keya, her fiancé Jordan, their 6 children ages 16, 10, 9, 4, 3, and 2, and her mother Dawn. They now face the enormous challenge of starting over from scratch during what should be a joyful holiday season. Keya had already started to receive her Christmas shopping orders and had stacked them in her bedroom to hide until Christmas. They are in immediate need of:

Basic necessities: clothing, toiletries, and personal items

Temporary housing assistance

Essential furniture, bedding, and kitchen items

Support for rebuilding their lives. Keya did not have an extensive insurance policy on their home as she was just transitioning after purchasing the home from her parents.

Keya is the kindest, most giving person I know, always ready to lend a hand or a smile to anyone in need. Now it’s our turn to help them. Every donation, no matter how small, will make a difference in giving this family hope and stability during this difficult time.

If you’re unable to donate, please consider sharing this campaign with your network. Your support means the world to them and will help them begin the long journey to rebuilding their lives.

I've put an extremely hefty goal of 200,000. No amount can replace all that they have lost but I’m hoping to give them a leg to stand on to get back on their feet.

Thank you from the bottom of our hearts,

Amanda Baldonado
