Liz's water heater caught fire on Saturday 12/5 and the house was on fire for 2 hours before fire crews were able to get it out.  Almost every belonging was lost to fire or water damage.  She is not covered by the homeowners insurance policy so she has to start from scratch on everything from her documents (birth certificate copy, etc. to her clothes).  

Any contribution you can make is much appreciated.
