Our friends and neighbors Marilyn Patterson, Debbie Woodhead, and Joe have just experienced an unimaginable loss. Earlier today, a devastating house fire took everything they own, including their beloved pets. In a matter of moments, their home, belongings, and sense of normalcy were gone. While we are incredibly grateful that everyone is safe, the emotional and financial toll of this tragedy is overwhelming.

Now, Marilyn, Debbie, and Joe face the daunting task of rebuilding their lives from the ground up. The funds raised here will go directly toward providing them with essentials like clothing, food, and temporary housing, as well as helping them cover the many expenses that come with starting over. Your support will help ease their burden and give them hope as they begin to recover.

Any donation—no matter the size—will make a meaningful difference for this family. If you’re unable to give, please consider sharing this fundraiser and keeping Marilyn, Debbie, and Joe in your thoughts and prayers. Thank you all for your kindness and support during this difficult time. Together, we can help them find strength and start anew.
