Insurance Claim & Fire Recovery Support

After The Disaster, There's The Paperwork. You Don't Have To Face It Alone.

The fire, the flood, the tornado — the loss was the first disaster. The claim can feel like the second one: adjusters, forms, deadlines, and an inbox that never stops. I sit beside you — virtually or in person — and turn the paperwork avalanche into a system you can actually manage.

When Life Is Already Heavy

Organizing Insurance Claim Paperwork Is A Full-Time Job. You Already Have One.

If you’ve lost your home to fire, flood, or storm — or you’re deep in any major insurance claim — you know the drill by now. Every phone call creates three more tasks. Your adjuster changes, and the new one asks for documents you already sent. The itemized inventory list wants you to remember every sock, spice jar, and phone charger you owned, with prices. Meanwhile you’re grieving, working, and trying to find a place to live.

Most survivors say the paperwork, not the disaster, is what finally breaks them. It’s not because they aren’t capable. It’s because nobody hands you a system for this.

That’s where I can help.

Steady, Admin-Style Support

Your Claim, Organized

This is hands-on, done-with-you support. You stay in charge of your claim; I stay beside you — an extra set of eyes on every document, a second brain for every deadline, and steady hands keeping it all organized, tracked, and moving.

Claim Document Organization

Every letter, estimate, policy page, photo, and email sorted into one trusted structure — digital and paper — so you can put your hands on anything in seconds.

Personal Property Inventory Support

The inventory is yours — nobody knows what filled your home like you do. I’m your support through it: breaking the adjuster’s reports down into a trackable list, matching line items to your photos and receipts, and documenting replacements so every reimbursement makes it back to you.

Deadlines, Tasks & Follow-Through

Claims run on dates: proof-of-loss deadlines, response windows, inspection appointments. I set up a simple tracking board so nothing slips — and nothing depends on your memory during the hardest season of your life.

Correspondence & Email Management

We tame the inbox, draft and log correspondence, and keep a running record of who said what and when. If your claim is ever disputed, that paper trail is gold.

Receipts, Reimbursements & Payment Tracking

Hotels, meals, replacement clothes, contractor invoices. I set up a receipt system and a simple paid / not-paid tracker — so your additional living expenses actually get reimbursed, and nothing gets lost between checks.

Rebuilding Your Paper Life

The proof of what you owned often burns or floods away with the house. We rebuild your home paper systems, tax files, home improvement records, and vital documents — so your claim has what it needs, and your family never starts from zero again.
Working with a public adjuster or attorney? Wonderful — I prepare organized, complete packets that make their job faster and your settlement smoother. One honest note: I’m a professional organizer, not a public adjuster, attorney, or insurance advisor. I don’t negotiate your settlement or interpret your policy. I make sure the paperwork side is complete, organized, and on time — and that you walk into every conversation prepared.

Who This Is For

Fire Survivors — And Anyone Buried By A Claim

Most of my claim clients are recovering from a house fire, and I travel to work with fire clients when hands-on help matters most. But the same support works for flood and water damage, tornado and storm claims, theft claims — and for the family member or executor who got handed “the paperwork” for someone else. If you’re staring at a pile and don’t know where to start, that’s exactly where I start.

How It Works

Three Steps To Steady Ground

Step 01

Free Clarity Call

Twenty minutes. You tell me where the claim stands, and we identify the one thing causing the most stress right now.
Step 02

Stabilize & Set Up

In our first working sessions we gather what exists, build your document system and inventory spreadsheet, and get urgent deadlines on the board. Most clients feel real relief in the first session.
Step 03

Steady Support

Weekly or as-needed sessions keep the claim moving: new correspondence filed, reimbursements tracked, tasks checked off. Virtual from anywhere, with travel available for fire and disaster recovery clients — and you never carry it alone.

Certified & Battle-Tested

Systems Are My First Language

Here’s what I’ve learned working beside claim clients: the hardest part isn’t any single form — it’s carrying the whole thing alone. So you don’t. I’m independent and I work only for you: an extra set of eyes on every document, a second brain for every deadline, and a shoulder to lean on when the process gets heavy. I’m not an insurance expert, and that’s the point — your adjuster and attorney handle the insurance. I’m an expert at keeping the process organized and moving. Behind that support sits 15+ years in HR and Operational Excellence, professional organizer certifications through Organize 365® and Clutterbug®, Trello certification, and genuine fluency in Excel, Google Drive, and Dropbox — which matters more than you’d think when your claim lives in an itemized spreadsheet.

Good To Know

Claim Questions, Answered

The questions fire and disaster survivors ask most before their first session — answered plainly.
Clean, organized desk workspace
01Can you help me organize my insurance claim paperwork after a house fire?+
Yes — that's the heart of this service: documents, deadlines, correspondence, and personal property inventory support, organized into one system you can trust. The same support works for flood, tornado, storm, and theft claims. We work virtually anywhere in the U.S., and I travel for fire and disaster recovery clients who need in-person help.
02Can you help me replace the documents I lost in the fire or flood?+
Yes. Rebuilding your paper life is part of the work: we set up new home paper systems and track down what can be recovered — vital records, tax files, deeds, insurance policies, and home improvement documentation — so your claim has support and your family never starts from zero again.
03Are you a public adjuster or lawyer?+
No, and I don't pretend to be. I don't negotiate settlements or give legal or policy advice. I provide administrative and organizational support, and I work happily alongside your public adjuster or attorney. Organized clients make their advocates more effective.
04How is this different from what my insurance adjuster does?+
Your insurance company's adjuster works for the insurance company. I'm independent and work only for you, on the practical side: keeping your documents complete, your deadlines met, and your records airtight — an extra set of eyes through the whole process.
05What does insurance claim support cost?+
Support is $65 per hour — whether that's a few focused sessions to set up your system or steady support through a long claim. We start with a free 20-minute clarity call to scope what you need, so you'll always know what to expect before we begin.
06How soon after the disaster should I start organizing?+
Sooner helps, because deadlines start running early and memories of your belongings fade fast. But there's no "too late." I've joined claims months in and untangled them.
07Do we have to meet in person?+
No. Most claim work happens virtually through screen-sharing sessions, shared drives, and your tracking board. In-person and travel support is available for fire and disaster recovery clients — I'm based in Fostoria, Ohio and serve Northwest Ohio in person, with select travel nationwide.
