Hello, my name is Jason Condon, and I am starting this fundraiser for my good family friend, Virg Paudash.

Last night, Virg lost her family home in a devastating house fire. In a matter of hours, everything was gone. She and her family are left with nothing but the clothes on their backs.

If you’ve ever stopped at Hiawatha at the gas station, you’ve likely been greeted by Virg’s warm smile. She is always the first to step up and help others in our community — fundraising, supporting local causes, and lending a hand whenever someone is in need. Now it’s our turn to rally around her and show her the same love and generosity she has shown so many of us.

We are hoping to raise at least $20,000 to help Verig and her family begin rebuilding their lives. Any amount, big or small, will make a difference. If you’re unable to donate, please consider sharing this page.

Let’s come together and help Virg get back on her feet.

Thank you for your kindness and support.
