Help the Cullen Family & their Sagamore Neighbors

Donation protected
December 30th will forever be remembered in Colorado as another dark day. A wildfire in December that destroyed 580+ homes in Superior & Louisville. The Cullen family - Bill, Kate, Caroline, Jack and Clark found shelter with us safe and away from the fire. We are family friends with Kate and Bill and I have worked closely with Kate for the last decade. The grace and positivity this family has shown is an inspiration to humanity. They lost their home, every possession, their 2 cats, George and Goose, and a turtle named Pokey. But the last 24 hours though likely in shock, they have continued to be incredible parents making their 3-year-old laugh and run around the house.

The outpouring love and support from this community and across the nation has been absolutely wonderful and we can't thank everyone enough. They now have the essentials covered so what this neighborhood full of people will need most is funds to re-build. They will utilize the funds raised for rent for housing for the upcoming months as they determine where to land next, as well as for furniture or anything else not covered by insurance.
The Cullen's are incredibly close to others in the Sagamore neighborhood that was completely destroyed and will be able to find ways to help each other get through this extremely difficult time. They would never have asked for me to do this, but we know there are so many of you out there wondering of ways to help. This is one way. Anything you give would mean so much to them as this has been a horrific loss for their entire community.

Thank you so much.
