Support for Tammi & Bryan's New Start after the Ruidoso Fire

My name is Theresa Rue Lopez. I was born in Ruidoso and still have many family members in the area. My mother, Ola Rue, brother, sister, nieces, nephews, uncles and aunts are all among the Ruidoso, Ruidoso Downs, Mescalero areas

The devastating fire in Ruidoso, NM, took my sister, Tammi Rue Waterfield, and brother-in-law, Bryan's home. Along with so many other homes, there have been 2 precious lives lost, as of this writing.

They left in haste with their family member, Nautica, the St. Bernard.

Tammi & Bryan were able to grab a few items before rushing out, not knowing for certain they would need anything else. They do have loving family members that are caring for their needs as of now.

Tammi works for the Village of Ruidoso at The Community Center, she is required to go in.

The Community Center provides for those in the community, but at this time, the Center is caring for 1st Responders. One of those emergency personnel is the one who let her know that her house was engulfed.

They both work hard for their church and their community. All the proceeds of this fund will go in hopes to help them get a start of a new life as they want to live in Ruidoso and continue to support the Village and its people.

Thank you in advance for those wishing to donate to this very caring and loving couple.

These funds will help them get a start at rebuilding.

Thank you to all those hard-working men and women for the Ruidoso, Ruidoso Downs, and Mescalero Communities.

To all those displaced, our heartfelt love is with all. To those who have lost loved ones, our deepest condolences.
