Sheila & Darryl's AftertheFireFund

Donation protected
I am starting this gofundme account for my dear friends, Darryl Beckmann and Sheila Lyon. Their home of 30 years was burned to the ground Tuesday night. They
also lost their beloved dog, Koa. Darryl and Sheila were
at yoga when they lost a life time worth of memories,
possessions and paperwork. All they have left is the clothes they were wearing and their two dogs, Lucy and Gina, who made it to safety. Sheila is an avid gardener
and has one of the loveliest gardens on the island, which
was severly damaged by heat, flame, and ash.  
        Sadly, these guys have a very long, rough road back
to having a home again, to replace a lifetime of records,
paperwork, family heirlooms, and the tools and comforts
of daily life, from furniture to linens, appliances to tooth
brushes, photographs to clothing. 
         I ask the compassionate Bainbridge Island commun-
ity to open your hearts and pockets to our fine fellow islanders, who humbly stand in great need at this time.
         I thank you ahead of time for all your giving and
generosity, which will help Darryl and Sheila get back
on their feet again and enable them to start to rebuild their lives. This is not what these guys thought they would be doing in their seventies. With your help and support, Darryl and Sheila will make it.
          Again, thank you from the bottom of my heart for
your kind consideration in responding to this plea for
help. I promise to keep you updated on their progress
and the events slong this journey.

Sincerely,
Qadriyah Sufi
