Help Shawn & Carolyn Rebuild and Recover

Donation protected
Hi everyone,

We’re reaching out on behalf of our neighbors and friends, Shawn & Carolyn Bissonnette and their son, who are going through an incredibly difficult time and need our community’s support.

Shawn is a skilled and hardworking carpenter who has spent his life helping others build and repair their homes. Now, he’s the one who needs a helping hand.

In 2020, wind brought a massive tree crashing down onto the Bissonnette home, causing severe damage to the roof and structural integrity. Being a carpenter, Shawn began the painstaking process of rebuilding the house himself. Unfortunately, he experienced a number of physical health setbacks before he could complete the work. And last week, a major medical emergency for Shawn left him unable to work at all for the foreseeable future.

With the house under construction, the family has been residing in a small camper on their property, with Shawn trying to recover his health while living without the comfort or safety of a permanent home.

We are hoping to raise funds to help cover:
  • Emergency medical expenses not covered by insurance
  • Living expenses while Shawn is unable to work
  • Materials and labor to finish rebuilding the home

Every donation, no matter the size, is a big help and greatly appreciated.

We’re also determining how to finish construction - if you have experience with building and renovation on a professional or amateur level and would like to help, please let us know.

If you can’t donate, please consider sharing this page with your friends and family.

With great thanks,
Bonnie and Rich Denton
