***Thank you so much to each and every person, family and organization who has taken the time to donate funds, clothing, toys, and books during this life-altering time. The outpouring from our community has made us to proud to call the Rainy River District home! Thank you for helping us reach our goal for this beautiful family. ***

Our names are Heather, Matt, Jaime, Jeremy, Jamie, Meranda, Ashley, Michelle, Joe, Brittany and Chris. Two of our best friends in the entire world, Donnie and Sammi Gavel, just lost the vast majority of their worldly belongings in their apartment above North Auto in the tragic fire that occurred there last night. We are all just so thankful that Sammi and their two beautiful children made it out unharmed.

Donnie just graduated on Friday from the Border Services program with academic excellence and has not been home since June. He’s on his way home to his family now.

We would like to help them purchase clothing and the basic necessities for themselves and the kiddos.

Thank you so much for your generosity and support of this beautiful family.
