Nanny Deb - Emergency Relocation

Donation protected
Thanks for visiting this page for Deb Holmes. My name is Lexi and I'm here to tell you all about our Fairy Godmother, Nanny Deb... pictured here with my daughter and one of her other "kids".

Deb Holmes may be one of the most kind-hearted and selfless ladies you will ever meet. A Steamboat Springs local for 29 years, and Coloradan for 38 - Deb has spent well over half her life in Steamboat - it's HOME – and now, with a heavy heart, she is having to do an emergency relocation.

I'm hoping to raise money for Deb so that she can pack up her entire life and say goodbye to everything she has known in Colorado to move to a very small town in Oregon to take care of her mama. Her mom, Alice, is 88 and recently had a stroke. She is in need of full time care- the type of care that not just anyone is capable of, and in a small town, not easy to receive. Deb’s goal is to be there for her mom, to drastically improve her quality of life.

Deb is the nurturing heart for the job and also being the best an only option for care - she volunteers to give up the only place that has ever felt like home.

She has played an influential role in so many things… let me tell you about some…

In the 4H Program, over the past 10 years, Deb has served as the skilled coach for shooting sports - teaching children and youth gun safety, firearm skills and target practice, along with patience, perseverance, dedication, and so much more.

Deb Holmes was brought into my life as a Nanny - at a point in life when I needed her more than words - she is my fairy godmother. (And many other families!) Deb has always been the women that will offer solutions, support, kindness, and a great friend. She's taken care of my daughters, along with many other families/children in this community for the past couple years and plays a huge role in our lives and the lives of our children.

It's now my hope that this amazing community can come together and raise funds for this woman who has dedicated her life and time in Steamboat to building other people up so that this upcoming whirlwind of a transition can be just a little bit easier. Let’s raise funds for moving and relocating expenses across the country, starting a new life in a new state with no steady income, caring for her mother, paying bills, and keeping her comfortably afloat throughout whatever adventures may come.
