Fellow Friends and Bronies, I come to you today with some truly terrible news. This past Monday on the evening of the 27th of December, my parents' home, the home I had grown up in, was completely lost to a devastating house fire.
Besides their camper sitting nearby, my parents lost everything in the fire. Most of their beloved pets, including their dog "Pup", who they were extremely close to and had raised from a puppy, all their belongings, the entire house itself, even my grandfather's ashes. The fire took everything. My sister put it best; "How so much can become so little so quickly". Even my father, a man not known for tears, was sobbing when they arrived at the scene, him shouting "Pup!". That, along with seeing the entire house engulfed in flames, will no doubt forever haunt my memory. This has shaken my family to it's very core like nothing we have ever experienced before. Even as I sit here and write this, I struggle to find the proper words that begin to describe the sense of loss my family are currently struggling to come to terms with.
Friends have come forward to help us with what they can and we are so extremely grateful to everyone who is helping to provide aid through what is, without a doubt, one of the most difficult times we have ever faced. In addition, we have set up a GoFundMe campaign in the hopes of helping my parents begin to rebuild their lives again. I would like to say I'm not begging, but in reality, I suppose in a way I am. We are striving and doing as much as we can to try and reach our goal. Even if you can't donate, spreading the word is extremely helpful too. We are eternally grateful to everyone who has and continues to assist in helping us piece our lives back together after this tragedy.
