<div><strong>**This GFM was originally started to help Cyndi, and when she found out about it she insisted that her neighbor, the other tenant in the home that caught fire, also be included. ❤️</strong>
</div>
<div>If you would like your donations to go to one of them specifically, please indicate with a comment, otherwise funds received after 8/8 will be split evenly between Cyndi and the other renter. They both lost everything in the fire and will need help rebuilding.
</div>

</div>
<div>Due to his job as a correctional officer, the other tenant would like to remain anonymous for safety but we will make sure the funds raised for him get to him.

<div>Dear Friends and Family,
</div>
<div>Monday, 8/5, my mom Cyndi experienced an unimaginable tragedy as her house completely burned down after being struck by lightning. She lost everything in an instant —her belongings, although very modest and few, cherished memories, and the small place she called home.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>We are incredibly grateful that she is safe, but she now faces the daunting task of rebuilding her life from scratch at the age of 70.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>We are reaching out to our community for support- though it’s something I never imagined needing to do. My mom has lived an incredibly modest and humble lifestyle for more than 20 years, being able to fit almost everything she owns in the back of her little sedan as she’s moved from place to place, having adventure after adventure. She still works from home part-time as a medical transcriptionist to supplement her small Social Security income.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Any contribution, no matter how small, will make a huge difference in helping Cyndi recover what she’s lost. She would NEVER imagine asking for help even though she would give the shirt off her back to anyone in need, from friends or strangers, without a second thought. Her generosity is truly unmatched.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>She has always left nothing but love in her wake, and has always put everything she has, both literally and emotionally, into improving the lives of others and making a difference in the world. This is your chance to make a difference, no matter the size of your donation, in her world.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Your generosity will go towards essential items like clothing, household necessities, new tools for work, and securing a new place to live.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Thank you for your kindness and support.
</div>
