Nolan shared the GoFundMe on X writing, “My friends. Last night I received a call from my daughter, Becky that their apartment burned to the ground. They lost EVERYTHING!”

He added, “I’ve established a GoFundMe for them that I hope you will consider taking a look at. A grateful father thanks you.”

On the GoFundMe page, Nolan shared more details about the fire, “I’ve created this GoFundMe on behalf of my daughter Becky, her husband Preston, and their dog Leo. Yesterday evening a devastating fire ripped through their apartment complex…burning it to the ground. EVERYTHING they owned has been destroyed with the exception of their car and the clothes on their backs.”

He continued, “Nobody likes to ask for help. Particularly Americans whose work ethic was born on the spirit of individualism. They have no family near them, but “no man is an island”. The reality is at some point we ALL need the help of others. It’s what we do as a community. Today I am asking you for yours.”

“Becky and Preston (and Leo) have to start from scratch so anything you can donate to help them rebuild and get back on their feet will be greatly appreciated,” he elaborated. “The funds will be used for necessities at first, clothing, shoes, toiletries, dog food, and then for replacement of furniture, appliances, laptop, etc.”

He then concluded, “Yesterday was a horrible day. But it was tolerable because (thank God), nobody was injured. With YOUR help, we can make today brighter for them. Thank you for your consideration.”
