In Support of Sebastiano Family

Sebastiano Family
On September 16, 2026 a family experienced an unimaginable tragedy. A devastating fire destroyed their business along with the fully furnished upstairs apartment where the family resided, taking with it nearly everything they owned. 
  
In a matter of moments, Joseph, Carrie, Stella and Chloe lost their home, countless irreplaceable memories, treasured keepsakes, and the sense of comfort and security that every family deserves. 
 
Today, this incredible family is facing the overwhelming task of starting over from the ground up. 
 
 We are asking our community to come together and surround them with love, generosity, and compassion. Every donation, no matter the amount, will help meet immediate needs such as temporary housing, clothing, meals, toiletries, school supplies, and other essentials and provide comfort, and support as they begin rebuilding their lives. 
 
If you’re unable to donate, sharing this page is another meaningful way to help. Your kindness, prayers, and support mean more than words can express. 
 
Thank you for showing the Sebastiano Family that even in life’s darkest moments, they are not alone. 
 
The Sebastiano Family sold their home and moved to our community with a dream: to renovate a property and open a new business. They had been working hard toward that goal and were preparing to set an opening date when a fire changed everything.

Now, instead of preparing to welcome their first customers, they’re facing the immediate challenge of replacing what they lost and finding stability.

Funds will go to Support Now, and will be transferred to the Sebastiano Family. We’ll share updates here as the family is comfortable doing so.
