Help Therese & Mark Rebuild After Tragic Home Collapse

Dear Friends, Family, and Kind Strangers,

Our dear friends, Therese and Mark, have recently experienced a devastating tragedy that has left them with nothing but the clothes on their backs and a mountain of medical bills.

On May 7th, Therese and Mark’s world came crashing down – quite literally – when their home collapsed unexpectedly after being hit by a tornado, burying Therese under a pile of rubble, and Mark was thrown 100 ft in the winds. Miraculously, they both survived, but not without injuries that have left them physically and emotionally scarred.

Therese and Mark were both battered and bruised, with a broken foot and fractured neck, and face a long and arduous road to recovery. As if their physical pain wasn’t enough, they now find themselves homeless, with no belongings to their name except the memories buried beneath the rubble.

As their friends, we are doing everything in our power to support Therese and Mark during this incredibly difficult time. However, the financial burden is simply too much for us to bear alone. That’s why we are turning to you, our community, for help.

We have set up this GoFundMe campaign to raise funds to assist Therese and Mark in rebuilding their lives. Your generous donations will go towards:

Medical Expenses: This covers the cost of hospital stays, medications, and ongoing therapy sessions to help Therese and Mark heal physically and emotionally.

Temporary Housing: Providing them with a safe and comfortable place to stay while they work towards finding a permanent home.

Essential Needs: Replacing clothing, furniture, appliances, and other essentials that were lost in the collapse.

Transportation: Assisting with transportation costs for medical appointments and daily necessities.

Every dollar counts, and no donation is too small. Together, we can make a difference in Therese and Mark's lives as they navigate this unimaginable ordeal. Let’s show them that they are not alone and that there is still kindness and compassion in the world.

Mark and Therese are pillars of love and support in their family and community. They have a deep and unwavering love for their nephews and great-niece, whom they have provided childcare for with boundless devotion. Their commitment to family extends beyond their immediate relatives, as they open their hearts to anyone in need, always willing to lend a helping hand at the drop of a hat. Therese's dedication to St. Joe Catholic Church is unparalleled. She regularly volunteers for church events and funerals, embodying the spirit of service and compassion that defines their faith community. Mark and Therese also cherish quality time spent with family, often hosting lively gatherings and dinners filled with laughter and love. They want to get back to creating cherished memories with their loved ones as soon as possible, and your donation could go a long way to making that happen.

Please consider donating and sharing this campaign with your friends, family, and social networks. Your support means the world to us, and it will make a world of difference to Therese and Mark as they begin to rebuild their shattered lives.

Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for your generosity and compassion.

With love and gratitude,

The Family and the Friends of Therese and Mark
