It’s so hard to write this, it makes this whole tragedy real. You see things like this on TV but it never seems “quite” real. It’s real, it happened and it happened to one of the nicest couples I know.

 

My name is Suzanne and I have known Bruce and Mary Janda for over 25 years. We moved onto Mulberry Street in Louisville at about the same time – Mulberry Street was a true neighborhood with neighbors, like Bruce and Mary, who supported each other and cared for each other. Bruce and Mary supported me and many other neighbors through tough times and were great friends during good times. Now retired, the Janda’s lost their home, their car and everything they owned. Their cherished home and memories they shared with the daughter are suddenly gone. They’re a loving, wonderful family. Like so many affected by the wildfire, the Janda's need assistance with living expenses.  Selfishly, I’ll admit, I want them to continue to live in this community and for Mary to continually beat me at pickle ball!

 

Please help support the Janda’s to rebuild their lives and stay in the community they love and call home.
