Denise and Kim Recovery Fund
Donation protected
Hello Friends,
As many of you know we moved to California, to pursue our dreams but recently we have suffered a rather large setback. After being separated for a year while I started my new job at Sonoma State University, we were finally able to sell our house in Florida, pack up a 16 foot cargo trailer with everything that meant anything to Denise and move her and the kids out here. We got to California safely and had the trailer parked in front of the apartment we were temporarily living in while we looked for a house. Denise was just one day away from putting the Trailer in storage for security when thieves STOLE THE ENTIRE TRAILER …. Just drove off with it. We filed a police report and have given the police leads but no luck. Denise is absolutely DEVESTATED. She has nothing but the clothes on her back now. Her entire life was in that trailer. As many of you know, she is a very talented artist and skilled craftsman. She had a 30 year collection of very unique and valuable tools. Her collection of tools was worth well over 30,000.00 not to mention artwork, furniture, clothes and family heirlooms. She intended to fix and renovate a home for us here in California and work in the trades but now she has nothing with which to do this. She has literally lost her livelihood. We are asking our community to help us recover from this horrible event by donating any amount you are able to. It would mean so very much to Denise if she could have the funds to replace even a small percentage of what she has lost. I have included the California Rohnert Park Channel 7 news story of what happened to us and of course a picture of the Trailer. Thank you so very much for any help you can give.

ROHNERT PARK, Calif. (KGO) -- A Heartbreaking loss for some new Bay Area residents after a cargo trailer with their precious belongings was stolen in the North Bay, only weeks after arriving in the Golden State. They spoke exclusively to ABC7 News.
Kim Mieder and partner Denise Hallgren say their dream was to live in the Bay Area. So they sold their home in Florida and bought a 16-foot cargo trailer to haul their belongings cross country.
"The trailer had writing all over it from our friends wishing us well," said Denise Hallgren.
The couple was living temporarily in an apartment until they could find a house, but last Thursday night, thieves broke the lock and ripped off the trailer.
"I was in shock, just hoping it was towed," said Hallgren.
Besides furniture, Hallgren's treasured family heirlooms were inside, including her tools she'd plan to use to create art and a new career.
"She stuck it all in a truck to find her dream in California and somebody just snatched it," said partner Kim Mieder.
