I'm creating this for my mom, Lou Nelson, who lost her home and all of her belongings yesterday in a house fire. She is physically okay and so is her cat Smokey, but as you can imagine, losing everything you have worked your whole life for is difficult.

She is retired and lives on a very fixed income and could use the support of our family, friends, and community right now. We understand this is a difficult time for everyone, so we greatly appreciate any help and prayer for her going forward. She currently has immediate needs like food and toiletries covered, but needs to replace clothing and everyday items while we try to figure out how to rebuild.
