Anyone who knows my mom knows she has battled debilitating chronic asthma her whole life. Recently, her condition worsened to the point where she is seeking a double lung transplant. Despite her health challenges, she spent the past few months working tirelessly on her father’s property, helping create a future home for him and anyone who visited. My grandfather has always welcomed guests, and together they were renovating a small shed into a guest house on a beautiful cliffside in Beulah, Colorado.

Years ago, a house fire destroyed my childhood home, and since then, my grandfather devoted himself to building a new home. My mom was living in an RV, raising chickens, and doing everything she could to save up for her transplant. Two days ago, the Aspen Acres wildfire swept through Colorado and destroyed the entire property. My mom lost all her possessions except for a scrapbook and important documents, and my grandfather escaped with only his cat. He stayed until the very end, only leaving when things were hopeless and had to be rescued by the sheriff.

Now, my mom is staying with her boyfriend, but she faces the challenge of rebuilding her life from scratch while still preparing for her transplant. The funds raised will help replace medical supplies, immediate essentials like clothing, and household items that insurance won’t cover. Your support will help her recover from this devastating loss and focus on her health. Thank you for caring and being part of our journey.
