Our friend and neighbor, Marie Giera, from Hawthorne, experienced a devastating house fire today. We are so grateful she is safe, but her home was badly damaged and she now faces the overwhelming task of making repairs. Marie has always been a caring part of the Hawthorne community, and now she needs our help more than ever.

The funds raised will help Marie cover the costs of repairing her home and restoring her living space. Every donation, no matter the amount, will make a meaningful difference and help Marie move forward after this traumatic event. Even a small contribution will show Marie that her Hawthorne community is behind her and that she is not alone as she begins to rebuild.

Please consider supporting Marie during this difficult time. Your kindness and generosity will remind her that she is not alone and that her community stands with her. Thank you for any support you can offer to help Marie recover and rebuild after this unexpected tragedy.
