Gerstmeyer Family Fire Fund
Donation protected
The Gerstmeyer family is without a home after a housefire gutted their house (see the newspaper article here). The family is ok as they were able to escape the house.
Nathan and Erin have two young girls, Claire (age 4) and Emma (age 1), who are being brave but have lost everything. The family is currently being helped by a 72 hour emergency fund but will be looking for shelter that allows Nathan to continue his job as an insulator. Their family is looking to immediately find stable housing as Claire suffers from an unknown medical condition that is causing her seizures.
Family and friends are hoping to help them with this campaign to help pay the costs associated with finding stable housing while they sort out the lengthy process with their insurance company and to buy items to rebuild their life. Also, any items, in particular items for two young girls, that can be donated would also be appreciated.
