Rebuilding Lives: Vet Bills for Fire Survivors
Donation protected
Hi, my name is Jared Ledvina and two of my sweetest friends recently lost everything in the Memorial Day Maple Condo Fire.
Mel and Wes, a younger couple who are both Ann Arbor locals, managed to escape the fire safely, but the house went up so fast* that they weren’t able to grab any of their pets, three cats and a bearded dragon. They are still looking for one of the cats (an orange tabby kitten named Lovebug), but two of them made it to the vet last night.
Rowdy and Mumford's vet bills are estimated to cost at least $6,000. These two cats are currently everything to them, and right now they only have the clothes on their back.
Any donation, no matter how small would be appreciated!
* The fire started on their neighbor's property and spread to their home in under 5 minutes.
