My name is Brian Gill, and I am writing to ask for your help. On May 22, 2023, my house burned down. I was home with my dog at the time. Thankfully, we were both able to escape, after doing the thing you aren't supposed to do and running back into the house.  I had to throw my dog out a window that I punched out, receiving burns to my hands and arms. However, I lost everything I owned.

I was renting/watching the house for a landlord who was not living there at the time. The landlord has given me a small amount of money to help with my immediate needs, but it is not enough to cover the cost of rebuilding my life.

I am asking for your help to rebuild my home and replace my belongings. I need money to:

• Pay for temporary housing
• Purchase food and clothing
• Replace my furniture, appliances, and other belongings
• Recover my art on the few hard drives that survived somewhat

I am setting a goal of $15,000. I hate asking for donations. It's awkward, but at this point I have nowhere to turn. I'll take any extra clothing as well.  My sizes are 34x32 in pants, XL in tops, I'm a size 9.5-10 in shoes.  Any amount that you can donate will be greatly appreciated.

I know that this is a lot to ask, but I am truly in need of help. I am a hard-working, caring person, and I am determined to rebuild my life. With your help, I know that I can do this.

Thank you for your consideration.
