GoFundMe Set Up For IMPACT Wrestling’s Ace Austin And Gia Miller After A Fire Takes Their Home
Wrestling community assemble.
On October 18, Gia Miller and Ace Austin announced that their home was destroyed in a fire. Thankfully, both were able to escape despite nearly being trapped inside and being forced to run through the flames.
As a result of this, a GoFundMe has been set up to help them out during this difficult time. Donations can be made here.
The following message, as well as some images, was shared on the page:
At approximately 9:30 am on the morning of October 18, I (Georgia Lee, or some of you know me as Gia) was awoken by the distinct smell of smoke and a terrifying realization: our second-story apartment was on fire. Not only that, the fire had originated on the front porch, nearly trapping us inside. We went running through the flames, where we were met with a community of people rushing to our sides to get us to safety. Mere seconds from being trapped, Austin (Ace) and I escaped our home that was now engulfed in flames and smoke. All of our belongings, including our sweet cat Selina that had hidden out of fear, were trapped inside.
By some miracle, our baby girl was found alive and well buried under our ceiling and roof that had collapsed on top of her, shielding her from the flames and smoke. We are physically okay. Our little family is reunited. As for our home, it is gone. Something we worked so hard to build over the last year and a half, gone in minutes. We do not know what was able to be saved if anything.
Now, we have to rebuild. Like a phoenix, from these ashes we will rise. Any help, even the smallest amount, is appreciated.
Gia Miller works as a backstage interviewer and one of the hosts of Before The IMPACT. Ace Austin is a former X Division Champion and recently challenged Christian Cage for the IMPACT World Title at Victory Road.
Fightful provides live coverage of IMPACT Wrestling every Thursday night beginning at 8 p.m. EST. Their annual Bound For Glory event is set for this Saturday, October 23, 2021.
