https://www.facebook.com/statesmanjournal/posts/10157813723688099As many of you know, Chani and Andrew lost their home in the Santiam Fire (Gates) over the last couple of days. Animals lost and others displaced. Living in cramped hotel rooms for now while determining what comes next. Home schooling supposed to start, but pausing for now. Also, Andrew scheduled next week for leg brace fitting in Gig Harbor after last years roof accident. Kids being flexible! While continuing to wait for insurance details, this family could use help. So many of you have asked how to help. 1) Pray 2) keep them and the family in your thoughts 3) donate if you can 4) donate furniture, household items, and clothes (and food!!!—they have four kids full-time!) in a few weeks when they’re in a position to receive them.

So many of you have offered to help. While Chani and Andrew are still in a little bit of shock, they do appreciate your help and prayers!

We will add updates as more information becomes available. Reach out to me for details.
