A wildfire near Vantage, Washington, destroyed two homes—including that of volunteer firefighter Benjamin Stockdale, who bravely fought the flames before returning to find his home in ashes. With no insurance and a reputation for selflessness, Stockdale’s loss is devastating, yet his community rallies around him. A GoFundMe campaign has launched, fueled by prayers and donations, as neighbors honor a man who gave everything to protect them—now they’re determined to help him rebuild.
