House Fire Recovery Fund for Dan & Tina Howard

To all family and friends of Dan and Tina Howard: My name is Kassandra Howard and I'm the daughter-in-law to Dan and Tina Howard. Unfortunately, I have some devestating news to share. On Monday (2/24) the Howard Home in Bly, Oregon caught fire around 3:30pm. Dan and Tina are safe. Neither of them were in the home when the fire started. Tragically, three family pets lost their lives, Maverick (black lab), Zoey (rottweiler) and Izzy (black/long hair cat). The home and the items inside are not salvagable. They have lost everything. The other unfortunate news is that the family has no home owners insurance. Dan and Tina are the kind of people who like to give and not to receive. So getting help from others is a task that myself (Kassandra), their two children, Travis and Daniele, and future son-in-law, Dylan, are more than willing to handle. The fact is, they're going to need help getting back on their feet. I'm hoping that as a community, we can pull together and help Dan and Tina regain some of what they have lost. With all your generous donations, we plan to put it towards the purchase of a new home. Thank you to all of you in advance! -Kassandra, Travis, Daniele Howard & Dylan Smith "And in the evening after the fire and the light, one thing is certain: nothing can hold back the light. Time is relentless; and as the past disappears, we're on the verge of all things new." -Billy Joel
