Kirk & Gerry Long lose home in Medical Lake Fire

I am starting this fundraising effort for my brother and his family who lost their home in Medical Lake in the August 18 Gray Fire, which included the loss thus far of 185 structures.

It is a devastating loss and only charred remains are left from their home and property where they have lived since 1999 and raised their family. Thankfully, Kirk and Victor were able to escape the fast-approaching flames and grab only a few important belongings to meet up with Gerry. Youngest son Vincent is away currently serving in the Air Force. The family has been active in the community and Medical Lake Schools for decades. The family will now join their neighbors, friends and their community in rebuilding.

The cost of re-building will be staggering and the loss is unthinkable. They and their sons are now homeless and like others in this fire-stricken region, they are devastated and have no idea what the future holds.

Kirk and Gerry, Victor and Vincent are much-loved. Please consider donating to help them rebuild, find a place to stay and try to move forward with their lives. Please reach out to me with any questions and please share their need.

Thank you for donating, praying and coming alongside them and the Medical Lake Community. Thank you!

**In the Donation Screen: All funds will go directly to the Long family - please ignore the confusing language that says your donation will benefit me, Alisa.**
