Stand with the Knupps in their Time of Need

5/23/24

Hello and a GIANT THANK YOU to everyone who has supported the Knupp family through this GoFundMe campaign and to those individuals who reached out to Angela and her family directly. I know they are feeling the love from each and every one of you.

To date we have raised over $18,000. for the Knupp family to use as an additional resource to help get through all this.

On May 31, we will be closing this campaign.

I personally wanted to Thank You for the kindness and generosity you have shared.

The community that surrounds the Knupp family is incredible. This campaign has brought a group of strangers together to create a beautiful loving and giving village.

Thank you for being a part of that village.

Hugs and well wishes to all of you.

Hello, my name is Elizabeth Jerlinski. I have known Angela Knupp for over 2 decades as a good friend and co-worker. Many of you know Angela through Harrisonburg City Public Schools as our wonderful school nurse at Harrisonburg High School. She has indeed touched the lives of thousands of students and many many co workers. Throughout her long standing career, she has supported numerous families, students, and staff. Her family has deep roots in our Harrisonburg/ Rockingham community as she and her husband both graduated from Rockingham County Schools and her daughters all graduated from Harrisonburg City Public Schools.

She and her husband Marvin have 4 daughters who all went to Harrisonburg City Schools, Emily, Sydney, Audrey and Mallory.

As you know by now, Angela and her family suffered a devastating home fire in early April which destroyed their home completely. You can tell from the cover picture nothing could be saved. By God's grace, no one was physically injured but the emotional pain and loss is great.

In speaking with Angela recently they are taking it one breath and one day at a time. They don't know what lies ahead for them. From minute to minute there is so much to think about and plan.

They do have a place to live for now.

What they do know for sure is this will most likely be a 2 year process to rebuild.

Angela has a beautiful family and they are all together right now sorting through insurance paperwork and basically figuring out what steps to do next.

I know they are grateful for the loving, giving village of Harrisonburg City Public Schools and the whole Harrisonburg and Rockingham County friends who have reached out so far.

They really don't know what they need right now. It is my goal to set up this Go Fund Me page as an additional resource for the Knupps as they move forward.

My family and I hope you will give generously with a joyful heart to the Knupp Family.
