Help Carmen heal and continue her mission

Hi, my name is Carina and I am dedicating this gofundme to my mom, Carmen. She lost her home to a housefire this past Sunday evening. Besides the devastating loss of the home she has lived in for the past 28 years, we are heartbroken to share that we also lost our dog, Freya, and our two cats, Tottia and Rhea to the fire. She was not home when the fire started and is physically okay but could definitely use some support during this difficult time.

Any funds raised will go towards helping my mom get back on her feet, and a portion will also go towards the Faribault Foundation, specifically to the Women Who Care Endowment Fund. The fund is currently in its infancy and members are running a campaign to raise enough funds (goal is $200,000) to begin making grants to organizations that aim to improve lives of women and girls in the area. This nonprofit means a lot to my mom, as she is one of the founding members of this endowment fund and acts on the advisory committee. She was planning to donate in honor of the women in her life, and one of the things she brought up to me after the fire was how sad she was that this meant she’d no longer be able to contribute to the fund. I’d still like to make that happen for her and appreciate any contribution you are willing to make to her (and the endowment fund).

Thank you so much for your love and support during this difficult time❤️
