According to Wilbert’s GoFundMe, on May 27, the fire department assessed the damage and deemed her home and everything in it a “total loss.”

“This is very tragic as she is a very hardworking single mother who had just started her own business. Thankfully, she wasn’t in the house, and her sons were at her mom’s house. She is never one to ask for anything, but I am asking for help for her,” says the best friend and fundraiser organizer.

Wilbert’s workplace, HCMTSO, says they are working on ways to help Wilbert rebuild. Monetary donations can be made at Texas Bank & Trust(Marshall) in a donation account in Kierra Wilbert’s name.
