Help Nancy Cole Replace Her Boiler

From Ben Brown, Jeanne Johns and Steve Schiff

Dear friends and neighbors,

Over Presidents Day weekend, our community was hit by a walloping winter storm. Nancy Cole’s home lost power during the storm, and in the aftermath, her boiler froze and cracked beyond repair. Now, five people living in her home—including Jeanne—are left without heat.

Nancy is doing everything she can to keep the house warm—staying home, tending the small kitchen stove, and making sure the pipes don’t freeze. But replacing the furnace comes with a staggering cost, estimated in the tens of thousands of dollars. That’s why we’re coming together with a goal of raising $18,000 to help.

Nancy has always been part of the generosity that makes our community what it is. If you feel moved to help, any contribution—big or small—will go directly toward restoring warmth to her home. Donations can be made anonymously, and if you can’t contribute financially, sharing this fundraiser will help spread the word.

Let’s come together and remind each other that no one is alone. Thank you for your kindness and generosity.
