Grace’s dad, Rich, an 83-year-old Knight of Columbus and devoted volunteer at St Joseph Hospital, is facing an unimaginable challenge. His home was destroyed by a fire that originated in the condo next door by no one’s fault. All those affected escaped, and except for a few minor firefighter injuries, everyone was blessed. We are ever grateful for St Charles County fire department and surrounding areas for the rapid response. At his age, rebuilding is difficult, and doing so on a limited income makes it even harder.

The funds raised will help cover immediate needs such as clothing, essentials, his CPAP machine, medicines, furniture, and temporary housing. These are critical items that he must pay for until insurance support arrives. Every donation will help him regain stability and comfort during this uncertain time.

Rich has always given back to his community, accumulating over 1500 volunteer hours at St Joseph Hospital and serving as a Knight of Columbus. He is known for his kindness and generosity, always ready to help others. Any support for him now will be deeply appreciated, and he would give back in some way ten-fold. Thank you for considering a donation to help him rebuild and recover.
