Michael Buell and Sandi Betters lost their home and all their belongings in the Cold Springs Fire in Nederland over the weekend.   Sandi and Michael were married during the 2013 floods and shortly after, they bought the home her dad built, the home where she grew up, for their life together.   

Sandi and Michael are pillars in the Nederland community.  Both grew up in the mountains around Nederland, both graduated from Nederland High School, and both have spent years teaching local kids the joys of being outdoors.   When the fire hit, Michael and Sandi were several hours away coaching the next generation of mountain bikers and couldn't get back home to save anything. 

We are raising funds to help them rebuild their lives.

Immediate needs are replacing their home offices, including computers and software, as Sandi and Michael both worked from home, transportation, food and care for their horse, Montana, and transitional living expenses.  

Please help in any way possible and send warm wishes and support to every family involved in this disaster.
