In the early morning of Jan 3, tragedy struck the small town of Joliett and the Kramer Family. A house fire displaced 3 families and caused damage to 4 homes.

Among those displaced are the Kramer Family: Deputy Chief R. Kramer (Rosco) of the local Joliett Fire Company, his wife Cheryl, and daughter Amanda. Rosco and his family have been longtime members of the local fire department, assisting in all aspects of the volunteer fire service. The monetary donations will be used to help with immediate needs, temporary housing, and moving forward through this tragic situation. The Kramers have found themselves having to start over and they are currently unsure what that will look like. When the fire struck in the early hours of Jan 3, the Kramers had to leave their home with the clothing on their backs and a few personal items. They are still maneuvering through what each hour and day look like.

Please consider donating as this family donates time for various events throughout the community and surrounding communities. Rosco has also given a great deal of time assisting the local fire company to help others; now this family needs your help.
