Help Mark Lounder Rebuild After A Devastating Fire
Donation protected
Hello everyone, I am Mike Lyons. Today, as we were mowing in Albion, I received a phone call from my neighbor asking if we were burning a large fire. I said no, we are at work. He then raced down to the house to find Mark's home fully engulfed in fire. Cranesville VFD was called immediately, and they arrived extremely fast, 11 minutes from the call. Unfortunately, it was too late, and Mark's home was a complete loss. It was all he had. His best friend Luna (his dog) was also taken by the fire. He lost all his clothes, hunting rifles, photos, everything. It is a very sad and tough time for Mark, especially coming into winter and seasonal work getting slower. Mark had no insurance. He's left tonight with a bookbag on his back and friends trying to keep him going. He misses his dog more than anything and would give everything he had to get his dog back. It breaks my heart. If you have ever had a friend that could use a hand up or you know Mark, please help in any way you can. He would be thankful forever for your generosity. Our goal is to get him in a camper before winter and help him get back to feeling like he has something of his own and a place to call home again.
