Aid for Andrea and Ron's Post-Fire Recovery
Donation protected
My name is James Haworth and I am trying to help my sister and her husband out as they had a major house fire last night. Their names are Andrea and Ron Hodgson. Thank God they are both fine but they lost a cat in the fire. Their two dogs are fine but very freaked out and at the vet right now. Thank God they have two incredible German Shepherds who woke them up at least 10-15 minutes earlier to alert them of the fire. The fire was right under their bedroom in the basement so they might not have made it out without the dogs protecting them. Andrea is fine but Ron suffered some smoke inhalation trying to save the house and find the cat but he is fine and resting in the local hotel right now in Lancaster, WI. So, the house was insured but they have minimal insurance and will probably get the house saved but that might be 3-6 months and they have nothing right now. They are wearing the neighbors’ clothes at this time. Andrea also had a business that she ran out of the basement and most if not all of her inventory was destroyed in the fire and that was how she was making a living. She had her best sales day yesterday too! They are going to need help and I know both of them have helped others in the past so hopefully you can help them out a little today. Lisa and I are about to leave with our trailer to help them out so thank you for your help as well. Please share this to your family and friends too if you can. Thanks! James
