Hi, Fred & Amy, owners of Moreau’s Backerei & Pizzeria in Malvern, Iowa. On Monday, December 13th the grocery store next door burned down. The valiant attempt by firefighters from 21 stations my neighbor building could not be saved. Due to firefighting efforts we were saved from the same fate, but our store and our upstairs apartment received major damage from smoke and water. The store is currently closed and the apartment uninhabitable for the near term. All our clothes, furniture, and well everything is not useable. The positive in all this is no one was hurt or killed in this accident. Amy, myself and our two dachunds are fine just not in our home and will need to find alternatives for housing nearby. What I am asking help for, and it’s tough for me to ask is assistance to purchase clothing, supplies for our two pups and some help to rebuild. The clothing and pet supplies are the critical and primary need. Insurance will be there but not for all of it. Thank you in advance. Merry Christmas and God Bless.
