URGENT: Help Pete Rebuild After Devastating House Fire

This morning, Pete lost his home in a tragic fire. The fire started next door and, due to strong winds, quickly spread to his house. Thankfully, Pete wasn’t home at the time—but his beloved dog, Blu, was inside. A brave Good Samaritan rescued Blu, but unfortunately, his paws were severely burned. Blu is currently receiving care at the vet, and we are hopeful for his recovery.

For those who know Pete, you know he is one of the most selfless, giving people out there. He never asks for anything and would literally give you the shirt off his back. Now, he needs our help. He lost everything—his home, his belongings—everything except for the clothes he was wearing at the time. While insurance will cover the house, Pete has to rebuild from scratch.

How You Can Help:
🛍️ Donations – Clothes, household essentials, pet supplies for Blu
💰 Financial Support – PayPal 
🐾 Support for Blu – Help with vet bills 

Any support, big or small, will make a huge difference as Pete starts over. Let’s come together and show him the love and generosity he’s always shown to others.

Thank you all for your kindness and support! ❤️ #HelpPeteRebuild #CommunityStrong #SupportBlu

This e-gift card allows access to all Walmart products. Useful for anyone anywhere.
Why We Love This Gift: We love this gift because it offers access to things like pharmacies when a family you love is in need. Many aspects of surgical care are not covered by insurance - these expenses can add up. This is especially true when a family is on a fixed income. Items like canes, walkers, surgical gauze, and more - can all be underwritten in this way. (Bonus: It respects, as well, the privacy and dignity of the person you love). Supplements that are doctor recommended (always check) can also be covered in this manner. Walmart also just has everything so for someone who has lost their job it enables them to get what they need without spelling it all out. People are proud.
What To Express in Your Card: You'd do exactly the same. xo
