Lewis/Woloszyn Family House Fire

As many of you know, there was a fire at Abby and Justin’s house in the early morning of February 10. Abby and the kids were out of the home at the time, but sadly, Justin was home and was killed in the fire. As Abby and her children are reeling from this tragic loss we want to rally family, friends, and their communities to support them in the coming days, weeks, and months.

Not only will Abby need to start over with all the necessities for her family, she also has the added stress of planning Justin’s funeral, income loss from missing work, Justin’s lost income, and money for a new rental home for her family. She met with the Red Cross today and although they can offer some immediate assistance ($375), that doesn’t come close to covering the needs of this family.

The house was a total loss and they didn’t have renter’s insurance. Abby will need clothing for herself and the kids (sizes listed below), furniture, beds, bedding, shoes, kitchen wares, toiletries, etc. If you have any of these items to donate you can bring them to Abby’s parents’ house in Green Lake or Justin’s mom’s house in Princeton. These are their most basic needs but they are also grieving toys, games, treasured Christmas ornaments, photo albums, memorabilia, mementos, and Olivia lost over $800 she had been saving for the past few years for her first car. There are many layers of loss and many layers of grief that they will continue to process over the weeks and months to come. 

Abby and Justin’s family is lucky to be part of two small towns (Green Lake and Princeton) and we know they will want to support them in any way they can. Please help by making a physical or financial donation. Let’s wrap them in love during this extremely difficult time.

Thank you,

Michelle (Abby’s sister)
