Help Kameron & Kathleen Heal & Restore
Donation protected
Hi, my name is Rebecca and I’m creating this GoFundMe for a couple I’m very close friends with and have known for about 7 years.
Kameron and Kathleen have been together for 8 years and are a part of our community in Lynden, Washington.
This past weekend, they had a horrible tragedy happen to them. A member of their immediate family who was living with them, had been struggling with himself and was thought to have been doing better, but had a psychotic break.
He took all their possessions that were in their garage, possessions around the house inside and out, possessions of a neighbor, and burned everything. While this was happening, Kameron, who was the only one home, was trying to save what he could and tried pulling his possessions away without risking his safety as well. He did call the police, and the family member went to the hospital. They took the proper steps to ensure further safety.
This was not only very traumatizing for them but also very sad for all of what they lost.
Here is a large list of things that were lost, but it doesn’t even come close to what couldn’t be replaced.
