Help the Rhodes Family Rebuild After a Devastating House Fire

They Lost Their Home—But They Do Not Have to Rebuild Alone

Imagine going to bed in the home where you built your life—then waking up to discover that everything you worked for is being taken by fire.

On the night of July 14, 2026, my sister, Keysa Kay Henson Rhodes, and her family lost their home and nearly everything they owned in a devastating house fire.

In a matter of moments, their sense of safety, treasured belongings, and years of precious family memories were gone. Although their belongings can never fully be replaced, together we can help them take the first difficult steps toward rebuilding their lives.

“Thanking God today for the love of family, the loyalty of friends, and the kindness of strangers.”
—Robert Brault
