Gina Garcia is a long-time colleague and friend that experienced a tragic loss on 11/28/18.  Her home was fully destroyed by a fire, along with everything inside.  Her beloved pets were rescued, and the only item left untouched was a nativity set placed outside the home.  Gina's home was located on family property and she had just used her savings to begin home improvements that were in process.  Unfortunately, Gina doesn't have homeowner's insurance, so her and her family have truly lost everything.  In collecting donations, we're hoping to show Gina we support and care about her, and give her some relief in her rebuilding efforts.

UPDATE
Thank you all for your generosity.  I know Gina will be extremely shocked when she hears of this.  Although we obtained her permission to initiate the account, we haven't been able to update her on the results and all of your wonderful contributions.
