I first met Dee through my husband Todd, they worked together at Dunn Lumber, they were both drivers- Dee in Seattle and Todd in Lynnwood. Little did I know we shared a common group of friends in our adventures in retail Loss Prevention....so I knew immediately she had to be uber cool. And I was right, not only cool, but a sweet caring young lady with a big heart. Dee recently moved to Paradise, hoping to get a fresh start and be closer to her family. Dee soon adopted Leala, her beautiful pup that we've all loved seeing pictures of! Just days ago, a horrible fire swept through Paradise, Ca. Dee was not home but thankfully her parents were able to grab Leala and escape the flames, with barely minutes to spare. Dee left work immediately to meet at her Aunts house, her Grandma evacuated and was safe. But Dee could not reach her parents for 10hrs, fearing the worst. Thankfully everyone did make it safely to Dees aunts, but their nightmare became reality when they found out, just today, that they lost everything. Everything that Dee, her parents, and Grandmother had is gone. Dee was reluctant, but LaChelle and I really wanted to reach out to all of Dees friends...try to help Dee and her family get back on their feet and know how much they truly are loved. We will continue to collect donations throughout November, thank you! Ingrid Bechtel and LaChelle Owens
