Help Garret & Kaci Find a Safe Place to Call Home!!!
Hello everyone,
As many of you may know, my aunt Erica and uncle Chris were involved in a devastating house fire on Sunday, September 6, and unfortunately both have now passed away.
At the time of the fire, Garret and Kaci were living with their parents. Unfortunately, while they are already trying to cope with the fear and uncertainty of having both of their parents in the hospital, they are also suddenly without a home.
We are incredibly grateful to the Red Cross for stepping in and providing the boys with a hotel for the time being. However, that temporary accommodation will soon come to an end, and they need our help to find a safe and stable place to stay.
I created this GoFundMe to help Garret and Kaci in hopes that we can give them a chance to get them back on their feet!
(Yes! This is with Garrets permission)
Anything would help these boys.
Thank you
Update: With heavy hearts we announce that my Aunt Erica has passed away. She was surrounded by loved ones and now her soul moves on.
