My cousins, Tom and Jill Herendeen, tragically lost their family home to a fire in Littleton, ME. Tom had been doing major renovations over the last couple of years and had put lots of money and sweat equity into this home. It was totally destroyed by a fire on May 1st (see news story at https://www.wagmtv.com/2025/05/01/fire-destroys-home-littleton-one-injured/).

Fortunately, only his youngest son was home, and while he was treated for smoke inhalation, he is fine now. Tom, age 74, has worked extremely hard all of his life, supporting his wife and 5 children. Everything they owned was in that house...important documents, photos, furniture, clothes, electronics, etc.! They did not have homeowner's insurance, as he had not yet finished all of the renovations needed to qualify for insurance. They are financially devastated and desperately need help rebuilding their lives and home. Please help them get back on their feet with whatever amount you can donate; no amount is too small.
