Hi everyone. I am writing this without my mother's knowledge; she's going to kill me ;). Most of you know my mom and her huge heart. Always willing to help EVERYONE, often times not taking her own needs into consideration. Growing up the message on our answering machine was "you have reached the Addison Inn, home of stray kids and lost dogs". Mom never turned a friend or a dog away. Now she needs our help. Mom's house was struck by lightning last night and caught fire. Thankfully damage is minimal in the great scheme of things, and no one was hurt. That being said she now faces significant financial concerns with deductibles and repairs. We all know insurances don't cover everything. Brad, our families and I would appreciate anything anyone can help with, even just good thoughts and prayers
