My Sister's Rebuild Fund From Fire
Donation protected
My sister Rachel, her husband Uriah, and there 3 month old baby girl Faith, just lost everything to a house fire on 8/13/15. The amount of local support has been amazing but we wanted to create a place for people to donate to help out her family as they re-build there lives and try to get back what they lost. Here is a little more about there family and my sister -
Being an older brother I get the opportunity to praise my younger sisters and everything that they accomplish, and I want to take a moment to tell you about Rachel, after graduating from Erie Hight School in 2002 she went on to become a professional rodeo barrel racer and then a national rodeo queen (think Miss America for rodeo girls) After her reign was done she moved to Vegas and became a wedding photographer for 2 years, but that is longer then anyone should stay in Vegas so she came back to Erie and does freelance photography and recently got her real estate license. Her husband Uriah is a professional heavy equipment welder in Frederick. And they just had a baby girl named Faith, she is 3 months old and is the joy of our whole family!
Yesterday morning Uriah left for work like usual at 5am and Rachel had her very first house sale closing at 7am. After completing the closing and stopping by our family's repair shop to tell my dad and I all about it she went home to find her little 1 bedroom house that they rent on fire. She called 911 and rushed to the door to get there 2 dogs out, the dogs are ok but will need some vet care for the next week or so. Something happened with the stove which hadnt been used in the last 2 days, so its still a mystery. Due to financial reasons with the new baby and work being slow they did not have rental insurance. So everything they owned is lost and will need replaced out of pocket, the flames were concentrated to the kitchen but the smoke is what ruined everything. Rachel and her family absolutely love life and our little town of Erie, CO. All they want to do is move forward from this and get back to raising Faith.
All donations go directly to them to help get the things they lost and find a place to live.
Thank you so much!!!
