<div>Hi everyone,
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>We’re reaching out on behalf of our dear friends Shana and David Pitawanakwat, who just experienced a devastating event.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>While camping at Samuel de Champlain Park, their site was hit by a sudden tornado. Their trailer, filled with years of memories, travel gear, and David’s cherished hunting and fishing equipment was destroyed.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Thankfully, they are safe. David’s quick actions saved Shana’s life, and for that, we are deeply grateful.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Nature had become a grounding force in their lives. David, an Odawa/Anishinaabe man, helped Shana fall in love with the land, something she never expected.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Like many travelers, they never expected a storm like this. Without insurance, they’re now navigating an unexpected and difficult loss.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>We’re asking for your support to help Shana and David recover what they can and begin rebuilding the life that brought them so much joy.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Any amount helps, and every donation goes directly to replacing essential gear, and transportation.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Please give what you can and share this fundraiser widely.
</div>
<div><br />
