Hi, my name is Betsy. Happy New Year !

But, not for these people. My sister and her husband lost everything in a house fire on New year's Day.

They were able to save one fur baby cat out of 7. (Suzanne has been active and working with Angel's Wish and other organizations in saving feral cats for many years.)

Besides their daily jobs, they are both fabulous artists and have lost so many irreplaceable pieces of their work and their supplies. Rob is an experienced leather worker, and Suzanne, an artist in many different mediums. A specific need is a K29 Singer Leather Stitching Machine. Suzanne's art studio was lost.

They are presently staying with me, Betsy and my husband Nate, but do not know what the future holds for them as they wait to see how their insurance settles.
