Dear Community,

On Thursday 4/17, our parents Christine and Edward McDowell lost their home of over 50 years to a fire that ravaged their home, and all of our hearts.

Although none of their belongings survived, we are celebrating their safety.

The amazing community that Chris and Ed have lived, worked, raised their children, and have endlessly volunteered their time in have showed endless emotional support and an outpouring of love and requests of how they can help.

For this reason, we have created this go fund me to allow anyone, looking to give, to have a place to do so where Chris and Ed can best receive and use gifts in a way that allows them to rebuild in a way that works best for them and their current and evolving needs including basic daily necessities, replacement costs, and displacement expenses.

With Gratitude,

Meridith, Kimberley, and Kristin

The McDowell Family
