Dave & Bren Mowery's House Fire Assistance Fund

Donation protected
On Saturday, May 30th, a tragedy occurred at the Mowery family home. A devastating fire took not only their home, but 5 beloved pets as well. The fire also took irreplaceable heirlooms of loved ones who have passed, Bren's Lularoe business inventory & supplies, Dave's business equipment & supplies and everyday items that are typically taken for granted. The fire displaced Dave, Bren, their son and their two youngest daughters. The two oldest daughters had recently moved out on their own.

As Bren's best friend and sister by choice, I can attest to how loving and generous this family truly is. They have helped countless people in the past and I would like to ask that we as a community come together to help them now, in their time of need.

Most recently, Bren took the initiative to pursue what she called "Operation Healthcare Worker Appreciation" or OHWA for short. The entire family helped assemble 100 care packages in total for the UPMC Altoona Regional Hospital & the Hollidaysburg Veterans' Home. The packages included a handmade mask, a handmade corn pillow (reusable heating pad), a pair of Lularoe leggings, a snack and a handwritten thank you note. The family also made an additional 200+ masks for the community and essential workers, only accepting donations for additional materials, if offered. Bren and Dave were both members of the Sewing For Lives COVID Response Team. If you scroll through the photos below, you can see Bren's mask making station, complete with fabric and sewing machine.

Any contributions will help the family with food expenses, clothing, hygiene products, ongoing bills and to replace what they can in the future, such as, furniture and other household items that insurance may not cover. As Bren's business was home-based and everything was lost, she is unable to conduct business and the family has lost her income. 

Other ways to assist the family;

- Online donations may also be made securely through Paypal without any fees;
paypal.me/BrenMowery

- Due to the displacement of the family and the inability to store items at this time, we are only asking for donations in the form of monetary value. If you would like to send gift cards to the family via the mail, please send a message and I can provide an address to send via USPS.  

We would also like to ask for prayers and well wishes. Any contribution made, is truly appreciated and the family will be forever grateful.

On behalf of the family and myself, thank you so much!!!
