My name is Cari Divine, and I’ve had the privilege of getting to know the Putnam girls over the last few years. Jenn, Vanessa, Ali, and Jesse lost their father to a drunk driver 12 years ago, and they’ve already been through some difficult times. Just days ago, their mother, Patty, was tragically killed while defending her family, and the Putnam girls are reeling from the shock.

Jenn, Vanessa, Ali and Jesse are working through planning the funeral and all of the paperwork and tasks necessary to move forward. They don’t currently live in the same city as each other, so they’re struggling with the expenses to stay together during this terrible time. They will need help with temporary housing, moving costs, counseling, car repairs and other expenses as they work through and process their grief and determine how the future looks.

Please consider helping this wonderful family during this difficult time. Any donation is appreciated and will help immensely. Leftover donations will be used for education expenses for Jesse and Ali’s 2 year old son, Kal, as well as donations to Toby’s House Crisis Nursery in Great Falls, MT.
