Our beloved Bee Balm and Richard Garvey lost their home on August 6th in a tragic fire.
The home was a relic of Denman Island, built by incredible DIY'ers and because of its age and associated quirks it was uninsurable. They had been in the middle of renovating their house and had put their savings in to build their dream home. The fire took everything. Big thanks to the Denman Fire Department for putting out the fire and stopping any spread.
Bee and Richard are pillars of the Denman community, from feeding families on Denman to sharing their music and songs. This fire is a huge setback but there is no doubt they will continue to contribute to their community.
In the immediate, the funds will go to cleaning up the site from the fire, and helping Bee and Richard get back what they lost (clothes, musical instruments, catering wares etc.). Longer term, but hopefully as soon as possible, the funds will be used to help them buy appliances, kitchenwares, books and clothes to rebuild their lives.
Direct money transfers to Richard and Bee are also being accepted and are preferred.
