RuPaul’s Drag Race star Kennedy Davenport has shared a fundraiser after her home, in which many of her family members live, was ‘partially destroyed’ by a house fire.
Three-time RuPaul’s Drag Race finalist Kennedy Davenport has shared that her childhood home, in which two of her sisters, mothher and grandmother live, has been ‘partially destroyed’ by a housefire.
A post on fundraising platform GoFundMe details that Kennedy, who is currently starring the Las Vegas residency RuPaul’s Drag Race Live!, is the “sole provider” for her family, which includes her “mother, grandmother, a sister with special needs, another sister who suffered a stroke and can no longer work, and her beloved nieces”.
The family live in Kennedy’s childhood home, in Dallas, Texas, “which has always been filled with love, resilience, and faith.”
But according to the fundraiser, “tragedy struck” in the form of a recent house fire.
“While Kennedy was away in Las Vegas… a fire partially destroyed the home where her family lives. The stress of being across the country while her family faced such devastation is unimaginable — yet Kennedy has carried herself with the same grace and strength that have defined her career and her character,” it reads.
“Now, it’s our turn to carry her. Kennedy has given us joy, artistry, and inspiration for years — and today, she and her family need us.
“Every donation will go directly toward repairing and restoring the Davenport family home, covering essential living expenses, and easing the incredible burden Kennedy carries.”
Kennedy has shared the fundraiser, which was organised by friend Travis Stancil, on X.
Thank you to all of my loyal fans, friends and family for taking the time to read. If you cant give please re-share.

A fire has left Kennedy and her family in a tough spot. She’s always been there for us, now it’s time for us to step up. Please consider donating to help them…
“Let’s show Kennedy that the family she has always cared for extends far beyond her front door. Please join me in helping Kennedy and her loved ones rebuild.
“Any amount — big or small — makes a real difference. Together, we can remind this icon that she is not alone, and that chosen family always shows up in times of need.”
The GoFundMe currently sits at 36% of its $7,500 goal.
Kennedy Davenport first slayed our screens on season seven of RuPaul’s Drag Race alongside names like Ginger Minj, Katya and Trixie Mattel.
She has since returned to the Drag Race Runiverse twice on All Stars 3 and Canada vs the World‘s second season – and she may be back for round four sooner rather than later…
