Thank you all for your generosity! We are going to distribute funds this week and we'll close down the donation site.
EDIT 1/11/22
Go Fund Me has asked me to include the following before they will allow us to distribute the funds to the impacted families.
1) How you are related to the person(s) you are raising funds for
My name is Greg Patrick and I am one of the owners of Primrose School at The Flatirons. We are raising funds for families/staff members who attend/work at our school who lost their homes in the Marshall fire. I am not related to any of these individuals.
2)Your withdrawal plan to get the funds from your GoFundMe to the intended beneficiaries
I plan to withdraw the funds and split the proceeds evenly between the 7 families/1 staff members who lost their homes. I will have the proceeds deposited to my personal account and will then write a check to each one of the impacted families. Most of those who lost their homes are listed below as they have their own GoFundMe sites. In addition to those listed below, the others include the Colom/Hartmann family and our staff member, Savannah Kruse.
3)How the funds will be spent (please be specific as possible)
Those who will receive the funds lost nearly everything they had in the fire. It's impossible to list everything they may purchase but it will include clothing, housing, food and medicine.

EDIT 1/2/22: We recently learned of an additional family whose home was lost in the fire and we have added their go-fund-me account to the list below. Additionally, we have included a link to one family that has a website where donations may be made. Thank you to those who have donated!

On December 30th, many of our Primrose Families lost their homes in the massive Marshall Fire. We currently know of 7 families who lost their homes and all of their belongings, impacting 13 children enrolled in our school. In addition, 1 staff members' home was also severely damaged by the fire. Many of you have asked how to support them, so Kim, Charles, and I have started this go-fund-me to help them recover from this tragedy and acquire the necessities to get them through these difficult times. Any contribution given to this go-fund-me page directly to the Primrose families affected.

We also know that some families already have go-fund-me pages for funds to go directly to their families. The ones I have found so far are as follows:
