Hello! My name is Gerald Mullins and I'm raising funds for a fellow New Mexican and high school friend, Kim Podeweltz Robinson. Kim and BJ lost their house and all their material possessions in the devastating South Fork fire in Ruidoso, New Mexico. She is currently employed as a teacher in Ruidoso.

GoFundMe wants me to explain who I am so there will be no fraud. My name is Gerald Mullins and I retired from the New Mexico Air National Guard after serving for 31 years in the military. My home address is 4416 Mountvale Avenue NW, Albuquerque NM 87114. I am legit and every donation will be withdrawn by Kim and BJ. This money is to help them cover expenses until the insurance gets worked out. It's the least I can do for a long-term high school friend I've known for 40+ years.
