Damian Hartley and his family suffered a devastating fire on Saturday, December 13th. They lost their home and all their possessions. They did not have insurance to cover these losses. I work with Damian and he is one of the nicest people I know. I want to do all I can to help him and his family.

Damian's mother (Amy) and brother (Blayne) survived the fire with minor injuries. Sadly, Damian suffered severe burns and injuries. He was life flighted to Portland, Maine and is currently in the ICU receiving specialized treatment for burn patients. Damian's recovery will be long, painful and expensive.

This family is starting over. They need to find a new place to call home. They need furnishings and clothing. They need help with medical bills. With Damian being the major bread winner for the family, his loss of income will have a devastating impact on their ability to obtain any of these things. With his treatment expected to last some time, his medical bills are expected to grow considerably.

I'm asking for the community - near and far - to do what you can to help this family during this unbelievable time of need. If you can't donate, would you please share this post? Your prayers, kindness and generosity are so greatly appreciated. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for any help you can offer.
