My name is Ada Franklin, and I have a teacher co-worker Mark Balskey who lost everything on June 10th in an apartment fire. His apartment was hit by lightning during a thunderstorm. Unfortunately, Mark doesn't have rental insurance and will need to refurnish his new place and will need to replace the personal items he lost in the fire. Because I know he would never ask for help himself, this go fund me is created so that he doesn't have to ask. If you can and want to help, please donate what you can.
