SE CO Family Home Lost to Wildfire

My mom (Marge Koenig Campbell) and step-dad (Ed Hollandsworth) have suffered an unimaginable tragedy. They have lost their home and every single item they own except the clothes they were wearing when they ran out. A freak fire started by a lightning strike during a storm... that's all it took.

 

They have both done so much for the community. My mom was one of the first people on scene the night of the Holly tornado, and she was there ALL night. She's been a nurse in our community since before I was born. How many VOLUNTEER ambulance calls has my mom been on? How long has she been a coroner? How many families has she touched?

And Ed... Not only is Ed a veteran, but he's permanently disabled from an ambulance wreck after years of working on a transport ambulance that served our rural community.

They have both spent countless nights on-call for their community, and now I ask that you be there for them.

 

I'm so grateful that they are alive, as it was a close one and they dang near didn't make it out. However, my heart is broken. My childhood home is gone and there is a lot of rebuilding to do.
