Stephanie’s Lost Home

Hello all! My name is Katie and I, along with my coworkers, are fundraising for our dear friend and coworker Stephanie Payne whom tragically lost her home during the recent Oregon ice storm on January 13th/14th, 2024. Her home is a complete loss after six large trees, in total, went down and destroyed it. Stephanie recently went through the one year anniversary of losing her husband, Tom, and after all the loss she has had to endure we are trying to ease her way through this hardship. Stephanie unfortunately lost not only her home but most of her belongings and her vehicle.

Stephanie has made such an impact not only on the people that surround her on a daily basis at work but also in our community as a nurse. Stephanie is constantly helping others and its time we now help her! Hoping this fund will help alleviate some financial stress during this time. We know it wont bring back her family home she shared with her late husband Tom, or the belongings and memories it held, but we are hopeful that together we can make this heavy burden that has been placed on her a little lighter.

We know times are difficult right now for many but if you have been touched by Stephanie or have the ability to donate it would be so appreciated. We want to also offer that if you do have the means to help and would feel more comfortable, or just prefer, our manager, Brenda Ricciardi, will have the ability to take cash or check at work. Another option is Venmo @katiemgraham for a direct donation as well.

Thank you again for taking the time to read this. If you do not have the means to donate positive thoughts sent her way are much appreciated.
