Hi, my name is Elena Drewel, and I am from Boise, Idaho. I am fundraising to help my aunt and uncle, Stephanie Urtado-DeLand and Joseph DeLand, with the devastating loss of their ranch in Mora County New Mexico from the recent New Mexico fires. They would benefit from funds for food, gas, and lodging. They lost their home and several outbuildings on their property. They also lost livestock and beloved pets.

 

My aunt and uncle moved to Mora County New Mexico over 20 years ago where they built their ranch and home with their own hands.  The land has been in the family for generations, so it has strong historical and emotional significance for the entire family.  My aunt and uncle are incredibly humble and generous people who have committed their lives to service. They are well into their retirement years, so any funds to help them recover during this incredibly difficult time would be appreciated. Our hearts and prayers are with them and the other families devastated by the fires.
