My name is Monica and I'm fundraising to help out a neighbor that recently lost her home and belongings to a house fire.

My 70+ year old neighbor, Jules Means, was devastated by a house fire started by a furnace explosion, burning the 1st floor of her home this past New Year's Eve. Thanks to the Brentwood Fire Department, it was extinguished (we all thought).

Adding to her misfortune, there was a flare-up on New Year's Day burning the 2nd floor, compounding her anxiety and loss. Jules has been displaced and currently resides in a local hotel.

Jules is the primary caregiver to her sister who has Alzheimer's, her son with Asperger's, and 2 dogs and says, "We were saved by the grace of God!" She can definitely use all the financial support possible. We are looking to reach a goal of $5,000 to help alleviate the financial strain this fire has caused and ask all of you to help her reach this goal. Any and all donations are greatly appreciated. Prayer, as well.

Thank you all that are willing and able to contribute.

Sincerely,

Monica Ousley
