On January 9, 2018 John Oglesby and Lisa Kloft's home in Sherrill, Iowa was struck with fire. John and a neighbor made multiple attempts to rescue Lisa but were not successful. John was airlifted to Iowa City with burns and smoke inhalation. John is expected to make full recovery after some time in the hospital. John and Lisa spent 35 years together and share a 26 year old son. This past year Lisa had been diagnosed with and was battling stage 4 brain and lung cancer. John and their son will now need to rebuild their lives after the loss of Lisa as well as their home. The home was a total loss. They even cut the clothes of John's back so he was truly left with nothing. Money raised will first provide for a memorial service for Lisa then to re-establish  a home.
