Support for Jeb's Family After Fire

Hello.... I am Ken Tolin, husband of Libby Carter. Libby's son Jeb (the big boy) and DIL Jessica (on the opposite side) and the two grandchildren, Analee (9) and Ashlyn (6), lost everything they own except their dog the morning of 4/11. At 2 in the morning, Jessica woke up to some 'popping noise' to discover smoke. As she was awakening her husband children, the smoke detectors did sound off. With the literal shirt off their backs (and underwear) they were able to escape their second floor bedrooms to the neighbor's house and called 911. By the time the fire departments arrived, the house was totally engulfed and everything gone. We are all grateful that everyone is safe and we are capable to house them, but they will be starting from scratch. We are indebted to our neighbors for all of the food and clothing that has poured in already and we are good to go there, but insurance never covers everything. For this reason, and thanks for the suggestion from a community neighbor, we thought to open a gofundme page to bolster their self esteem and help them get back on their feet during these troubling times.

Mom and dad are going a great job trying to get the grandchildren back to a routine of schooling, soccer... etc. but are totally stressed out. All in all, the children are doing great, in my opinion. I've never done this before, but assure you, every penny will go to mom and dad in thier new journey starting from scratch. Thank you and God bless.

Ken
