Hi: This is Timothy & Vickie Lefoley. We lost everything in the Marshall Fire.

2021 was a horrible year for us (and everybody else wiped out by the Marshall Fire).

We (Tim, Vickie, our son Aaron T. Johnson, and our dog Buffy (female 7-year-old bichon)) escaped with the clothes on our backs, my late daughter's (Ashlyn Gregg Lefoley passed on 02/11/2021) ashes, a framed picture of Ashlyn, and three laptops. We got out in our 2019 Subaru outback. We lost everything else, including all of the keepsakes/hard pictures/videos of Ashlyn growing up (which is what hurts the most). As you can see from the picture, our 2004 Chevy suburban melted in the driveway, a 2011 Subaru melted in the garage, and burned-up firehoses laying across the driveways pretty much tell the whole store here. The landscape is a toxic wasteland at this point, but we are starting the rebuild process. I was supposed to retire in January, but due to the possible need to take out a mortgage to cover the shortfall of the rebuild, those plans have been put on hold. I am starting this go fund me page because of all of the unknowns at this point. We don't know (like so many others) how much we are underinsured. We don't know yet how much it will cost us to rebuild, but we will rebuild. We are conserving on our survival purchases, keeping to the bare minimum, trying to preserve as much of the insurance settlement as possible to put towards the rebuild budget. This includes buying a COVID-priced replacement suburban (2009 suburban with 190K miles and a rebuilt transmission) to give us a second vehicle. This is where the $10K go fund me limit comes from. Our friends & co-workers keep asking if they can donate something to help us out here. The funds I paid for the temporary replacement truck seems like a good place to start. I have been trying to order (get in line) a new replacement truck since last year, before the fire, but it is impossible even to place an order, let alone get one built. I have no idea how long the temp truck needs to last, given the unknown of when I will get the new truck. Anything that you can donate will be put back into the rebuild budget (which is the biggest unknown at this point). Thanks
