It saddens me to report that my sister Rachel and her family suffered a devastating fire on September 26, 2024. Rachel and Jon got everyone to safety, but they lost their home and most of their belongings. As they navigate Philadelphia's complicated shelter and housing system, they need our support to help them get back on their feet. Providing gift cards for meals will help them think clearly and have the energy to rebuild their lives; providing for toiletries and other essentials will help them maintain their hygiene and keep their dignity intact. Providing for household items can help them stabilize once they find a new place. Please scroll down to donate using digital gift cards sent to Rachel's email or Cash App. For those wondering, this family were tenants at the location where the fire occurred. Therefore, they do not have access to home insurance as a resource. When the fire marshall informed the landlord of the fire, it was revealed that he was not licensed to manage rental properties and could not assist with offering them another property.
