One of our own is facing an unexpected hardship.

Rick and Barb’s apartment recently flooded, forcing them out of their home with little warning. To make matters more challenging, Barb uses a wheelchair, which makes finding safe, accessible temporary housing especially urgent and stressful.

This fund is meant to help cover immediate needs such as:

Temporary, accessible lodging

Food and basic necessities

Transportation and mobility-related expenses

Lost wages during this disruption

Any contribution — no matter the size — will help provide stability during a very difficult moment. If you’re unable to donate, sharing this page is just as appreciated.

Thank you for showing up with kindness, generosity, and community support when it matters most.
