Support Patti's family after tragic home fire

Dear Family and Friends,

My sister Patti and her family were dealt a very big blow. On Thanksgiving, their home of over 30 years burnt to the ground. Half of our family members were present and narrowly made it out of the house safely. Once flames were discovered, the house was overwhelmed by smoke and ablaze within 12 minutes. It was a miracle that anyone survived, and for this we are beyond grateful. That said, the depth of the destruction, loss and pain for my sister is absolutely overwhelming.

My sister Patti is a force of nature, much like the intensity and power of the blaze that robbed her of all her physical memories. She is working to find the strength to grow through and beyond this tragedy but it is arduous work. The magnitude of what is ahead seems insurmountable. It is a painstaking and slow process to mourn her loss, heal her broken heart, support her family and begin to rebuild her sense of 'home' and 'safety'.

Patti’s entire life has centered around giving to, caring for, and loving on others with her whole being. SO MANY of those whose lives Patti has touched are heart broken for her and have asked for ways in which to support her family. This GoFundMe has been created to facilitate this offering. Please keep my sister and her family in your thoughts and prayers as she begins to take one small step and then another.

With love,

Sally
