Patterson/Anderson House Fire
Donation protected
On Saturday, July 6th at about 2:45am, Dan Patterson and Brenda Anderson’s house caught fire. About half of the house went up in flames and the other half is a total loss from smoke damage. Unfortunately, they also lost a beloved family pet, Lillie, that was unable to get out of the home and succumbed to the smoke inhalation.
Dan, Brenda, Dru (their 12 year old son), their two family dogs, Brenda’s daughter and son in law, and two of their children were all asleep in the home when it caught on fire. When they woke to the fire, they were able to get everyone out safely. At some point while calling 911 and trying to fight the fire with a garden hose, while awaiting the fire department, we believe Lillie went back in the house and we couldn’t get her to come back out and we could not get in to her. Dan, Brenda And Dru have lost everything through this difficult time.
I am Brenda’s daughter that was asleep in the home at the time and I’d like to set up this GoFundMe, as I witnessed the devastation and extremely long road ahead of them that they are facing. Everyone is trying to keep in good spirits and are thankful we were able to get all the kids and adults out to safety. Unfortunately, everything will need replaced and they are already incurring those bills and trying to rebuild from the bottom and finding it to be adding up quickly. They are currently staying with Brenda’s oldest son and his family.
Money can’t bring back Lillie and the devastation they are facing, but it will hopefully ease some of the stressful times they have coming in the near future. If you are able to help with donations, we greatly appreciate you! If you are not able to help monetarily, please say a prayer for them and we greatly appreciate you! We are so grateful for all the love and support!
