My name is Katie, and I’m organizing this fundraiser as a friend and colleague of Chris Walsh.

On the morning of September 10th, a devastating fire swept through their house in South Burlington, reducing their home to ashes and destroying everything inside. This tragedy has upended life for Kristin and Chris. Kristin, known by everyone who meets her as one of the hardest working people around, now faces the unimaginable challenge of starting over. Chris, who thankfully escaped due to the smoke alarm, has shown incredible resilience in the face of such a loss.

Together, they are navigating not just the emotional toll of losing their home, cars, and possessions, but also the daunting task of rebuilding from scratch. This fundraiser is a way to stand beside Kristin and Chris as they rebuild their lives. Your generosity will provide hope, relief, and the resources they need to create a new beginning.
