Jessica Fuchs and Kurtis Seeleys home was destroyed in a devastating house fire, and the local community is getting ready to rally for them.

Tyrell Riding Academy is hosting a benefit event on June 7 to raise funds for the family.

Helen Tyrell, a co-owner of Tyrell Riding Academy, teaches Fuchs at the barn.

"Jessica is one of my students, and she's just been a big presence to the barn, and she's always really sweet helping out with everybody. We wanted to step in and help her get back on her feet. She's such an amazing person."

The event will feature food trucks, barrel racing, a surprise event, and prizes.

The event has a $60 entrance fee, but anyone is welcome to watch the event.

All the money raised from the benefit will go towards the rebuilding of Fuchs and Seely's home.
