John Helliwell, Ami Eller, and their three girls Sierra (17), Dakota (14) and Chyann (10) have suffered a terrible loss. In the early hours of the morning on March 16th, 2018, they lost their home and all their belongings to a house fire. Luckily Ami and the girls were out of town at the time and John was able to get himself and their animals to safety. Their family is very active in our little community, and their loss is felt by all of the residents in Naukati Bay. 

The community is starting this Go Fund Me campaign to help raise money for the family to support their recovery efforts. It's going to be a long road, but we know they will come back from this tragedy stronger than ever. With help from our local community, and others on the island, we know we can help them rebuild their lives.

Anything you can provide will be helpful... cash donations will be accepted via Go Fund Me and will be given to the family. Checks can be made out to John Helliwell or Ami Eller and sent directly to them at P.O. Box 382, Naukati Bay, AK 99950.

Over the next few days, as we are able to further assess their needs, we will be posting updates regarding supplies they could use.
