Help Ed Sharp recover from Marshall Fire!

My grandpa, Ed Sharp, lost everything in the Marshall Fire. The home that he and my late grandma, Ruby, built 50 years ago was destroyed by the fire, along with everything inside. At 79 years old, he now has to start over.

We are beyond grateful that my grandpa is safe, along with so many lifelong friends who also lost everything in these catastrophic fires. That said, the recovery and rebuilding process for him is going to be a lot. Every contribution will go towards replacing necessities lost in the fire, health and medication expenses, new housing, etc.

 

My grandparents' home in Superior was the definition of what a home should be. They welcomed anyone and everyone, and whether it was Christmas Day or a random Tuesday, someone was stopping by to visit. Not only was their home a place of celebrations and parties, but it was also a place where family and friends always came together when times were hard.

 

From my grandpa and our entire family, thank you so much for helping him start over!

 

For anyone who wants to contribute via Venmo, grandpa is not very tech savvy, but you can send it to me and I will be transferring all money raised to grandpa directly! @Thea-Rounsaville or you can find with the last four digits of my number 0132. Please add a note letting me know it's for Ed!

 

P.S. One of the most painful losses in the fire was having family photos destroyed. If you have any photos of the Sharp and Barela families, their home, etc., that you would be willing to share with us, you can add them to this Google Photo Album: https://photos.app.goo.gl/bdh4sgDLBMCNJQDs5

 

If you have printed copies you would want to share with us instead, please let us know!
