Thank you, Fort Dodge!! We asked you for help getting clothes for this family that lost everything in a fire and you delivered! This picture isn’t even all of it. Because of you, this is one less thing they have to worry about. 🙏
Thank you to our great friends and partners, Butler Elementary School for getting us connected with them, and getting everything to them. Also, shoutout to United Way of Central Iowa! They went above and beyond for this family as well. We love this community!

Recently, a young family in town, a single mom with three kids, lost everything due to a fire. Everything. We are ready to do everything we can to provide whatever we can for this family. We need your help! We can start with clothing.

3 year old girl - 4/5T clothes, size 10 shoes

9 year old boy - 10/12 clothes, size 4 1/2-5 shoes

10 year old girl - 14/16 clothes, size 5 shoes

Mom - size L clothes. She’s not asking for anything for herself, but we will find out more about her shoe size and everything else when she wants. 

This family lost literally everything. We hope to get so many donations that we have to provide a storage unit until they get back in a home as they are currently living in a motel. Feel free to use your imagination on what they could use. You can drop things off at Southside Martial Arts 1028 S 22nd Street from 1:00-5:00 today or 5:30-8:00 pm Tuesday. Or message Nik Myers or Keenan Schuur
We will also accept cash or check donations to C3 and we will give you a receipt, you can use it as a write off. No cash app or Venmo, please. When all of the donations are in, we will write the family a check for 100% of what you give. Let’s come together and help these people! Please share!!! 🙏

Nik Myers saw something special in Nalayna Knuths almost immediately. She had faced bouts of adversity. Struggle. Pain. Yet Myers – the owner of Southside Martial Arts in Fort Dodge – also witnessed perseverance from Knuths. Hope. Determination. The 15-year-old Knuths, a freshman at Southeast Va...

ICO Team USA To The Top!! 💪🇺🇸💪

Thanks to the support of our sponsors and donors Nalayna and her family were able to go, and we were able to pay for a big chunk of the cost. 🙏
