My name is Ginger Kuhlmann. I have been intimate friends with Susie, Larry and Jason Russ since 1984.

As many of you probably know by now, and some of you don't, their entire house and contents burnt to the ground in the Rowena fire two nights ago. They had little time to get out after they were evacuated and everything was left behind. Susie lost all of her family memorabilia, and Larry lost all of his musical equipment and guitars except one. After 58 years of love, and collecting, they are left with nothing.

Disasters are everywhere these days from floods to fires and now one of our own has been hit. Insurance and government fundings are never enough to rebuild. I'm asking you from the bottom of my heart to donate whatever small or large amount you possibly can. It all adds up.

With tears in my eyes and a heavy heart, I thank you for your generosity. Ginger
