A South Bend fire hero's home goes up in flames. Let's help him rebuild.

On December 1st, after finishing a 24-hour shift protecting the community, South Bend Firefighter Colin Kowalski received devastating news: his home was on fire. Thankfully, his wife Abbi and their two children are safe, but the fire resulted in a total loss of their home and all their belongings.

Colin, a dedicated seven-year member of the South Bend Fire Department, now faces the daunting task of rebuilding his life.

To make matters worse, Colin was informed that his homeowner’s insurance had been canceled due to a missed payment from his escrow account, leaving him with no financial safety net.

Colin is known for his commitment to serving others. He recently completed nursing school while working full-time as a firefighter and holding down a part-time job to better provide for his family.

Now, it's our turn to support him.

Please donate to the Kowalski family to get back on their feet. Your generosity will help them find temporary housing, replace essential items, and begin the long process of rebuilding their lives.

No amount is too small. Every contribution makes a difference.
