Support Dan Madigan's Recovery from House Fire

Story

My best friend’s dad lost everything last week in a house fire. These are my best friends words….I am not sure where to start, but as I take a moment to think about the events of the past few days, I want to share a piece of my heart. I may not articulate all that is on my mind or in my heart in a way that may make sense, but I do want to at least try. Never in my wildest dreams or worst nightmares did I ever think it would be a possibility that my family and I would be dealing with what we are now. I felt so lost in the weeks leading up to May 9, that I never even considered how much worse it could get. I honestly do not have the words to describe how devastating it was to see my childhood home once I arrived on the scene. (or looking at it now.) As I type this out, so many thoughts and emotions are flooding my mind. I have no idea what I am doing or how to navigate through this devastation, or how long it will take to "handle" all the things, but please keep the prayers coming ! If you know me, you know our situation. You know the heartache I still feel for my Mom every day and the heart break we are experiencing watching my sweet Dad decline. Losing the house is gut wrenching. Losing what little peices we had left of our childhood (our keepsakes and family heirlooms) and all the memories we shared being a family in that house, is devastating. For me, l feel like I have also lost all the little pieces of my Mom that remained and the 1 place my Dad remembered and felt safe in, is gone forever. Please be patient with me as I try to find my way out of this storm. I appreciate everyone who has reached out, and for all the prayers and all the thoughtful messages that are coming through. The Madigan Family needs our help! Jenni’s dad lost everything in the fire including the one place he felt safe being. For all that know Dan Madigan, he was never the guy to ask for help and he would just go out and figure it out on his own. However, with his dementia progressing he’s unable to just figure it out or even know to ask for help. Jenni has been running around trying to replace clothing, food, medical supplies and set up his healthcare at different locations at this time. She won’t ask for help, but she needs our help. All funds will go directly to helping Dan get what he needs to replace the necessary items he lost in the fire as well as securing a future home for him.
