For the Robins family
Donation protected
Hello, I'm Karyn; I'm a close friend to Priska and her family.
I am asking you to help them with the immediate cost of losing their home and business to fire. Everyone is okay, and their dog Tippy and two cats made it out mostly unscathed. But, essentially, they are left only with the clothing on their backs.

On Thursday morning, January 20th, 2022, Priska smelled something burning from the garage and opened the door to their vehicle engulfed in flames. John and Priska evacuated the house immediately, called 911 and watched their home burn to the ground within minutes. Thankfully, their children were at school when this occurred.
Notable items lost to the fire: Priska's engagement ring, John's medals from his tours in Afghanistan, his cell phone and their computers, all of the boys' toys and belongings, Priska's treasured capsule wardrobe (the mohair sweater!), original artwork, and family heirlooms.
In addition to these cherished items, Priska lost everything required to run her business, The Tin Robin Clothing Co, including fabrics, sewing machines, patterns and tools. She even had orders packaged and ready to go to the post office! As a result, she has closed her shop and will not have this income to supplement their cost of living until she has replacement equipment and a space to work out of.
Your contribution will assist the Robins family with immediate accommodations, pantry items, and transportation. All donations are incredibly appreciated. Thank you!
