Come Together for Deborah DeFrance Cullen

Friends, minutes ago, I was at the home of Deborah DeFrance Cullen, which was just now destroyed by fire. Deborah moved to Idyllwild barely a year ago and immediately became a positive and integral part of our tight community.  She founded the Idyllwild Women’s Group, which grew immediately to almost 300 members, and graciously opened her home to all when the Idyllwild Vegan and Plant Based Community needed a location for its pot luck dinners. Deborah is not someone who moved to Idyllwild just to receive all the beauty our community has to offer, she came here  to help the community grow and thrive - to preserve and add to the beauty that was already here. What’s even more devastating about this loss is that Deborah was operating her business out of her home, offering “The Treehouse Weekend Retreat for Women”. Like so many of us who moved to Idyllwild, Deborah came here to bond with nature, while doing her best to help make our town and community a happier place for all she came in contact with. Today that dream literally was destroyed. While so much of what was lost today can never be replaced, I’m asking that we please come together to help Deborah. Please keep in mind the devastating tri-fold blow this is for Deborah. She lost her home, all of her possessions and her means of income. Please, PLEASE donate whatever you can to help this person, who is such an integral part of our community, get back on her feet as quickly as possible. Thank you.
