Early Friday morning around 3:00 AM, our dear friends Heather and Otis and their family of five experienced a devastating house fire. By the grace of God, everyone made it out safely—including their children and their two dogs—but they have lost everything.

Heather and her family are truly the kind of people who are always there for others—kind, faithful, and always willing to help anyone in need. Now, they need their community to rally around them as they begin to rebuild from nothing.

On top of this heartbreaking loss, Otis has been battling ongoing health challenges and is currently on dialysis, making this already overwhelming situation even more difficult for their family.

We are asking for any support you feel led to give—whether that’s donations, essentials, or simply sharing this post.

• Clothing (all sizes listed below)
