KENOSHA, Wis. (CBS 58) -- On Wednesday, Dec. 17, three Culver's locations in Kenosha will hold fundraisers for the Kenosha family who lost three children in a fire Thanksgiving night.

Twenty-five percent of all sales, including gift cards, will be donated to the Kannin family in honor of Rylee, 10, Connor, 9, and Alena, 7.

"I just want my old life back. That's all," said their mother, Jourdan Feasby. "I just keep trying to like, lie to myself and say that the kids are at their dad's or it's his week or it's his time."

It's been nearly three weeks since Feasby learned her children had died after a fire broke out at their dad's apartment.

Their father, Joshua Kannin, was taken to the hospital and treated for smoke inhalation.

A search warrant later revealed he told investigators that when he woke up, he saw "a little fire" on the kitchen floor, walked out, panicked, and looked for help.

"No year, nothing is going to be the same now. No holiday, nothing feels the same now," Feasby said. 

Since then, Feasby said she's had funerals and visitations and received an outpouring of support, with one GoFundMe raising nearly $65,000.

"You truly don't think you have all these people that would support you and be behind you until something like this happens, and then you see it and you're just like, wow," Feasby said. 

She also decided to tattoo two of her children's drawings, featuring Sonic the Hedgehog and Knuckles the Echidna. 

On Wednesday, Feasby also picked up what was supposed to be her Christmas gift to her three young ones -- a puppy named Lilo that her daughter specifically picked out.

"I didn't think I had that many people that would want to love on my family during this and just seeing you guys come together and do that for us just really means a lot," Feasby said. "It means the world because I didn't think if I had to go through something like this, that I'd have such a backbone behind me in Kenosha here."

The fundraiser runs from 4 p.m. until 10 p.m. at the below locations:

  • Culver's -- 5220 Green Bay Rd, Kenosha, WI 53144
  • Culver's -- 8124 Sheridan Rd, Kenosha, WI 53143
  • Culver's -- 11811 29th St, Kenosha, WI 53144
