My name is Stefanie Tuma. On Wednesday, July 23rd, one of my fellow work colleagues, while on vacation, was informed that his house burnt down. He drove 12 hours back home to find there was nothing left. He was informed that his family dog did make it out, but their family cat did not. Matthew is one of the most positive individuals I know and one of the first to jump in and help others. Yes, he did have homeowners insurance, but that takes time, and he is faced with rebuilding and starting from scratch.
