In the wee morning hours on June 29th, an act of nature (lightning) struck the home of Tom, Carol, and Stephanie Birchell causing a fire. Unfortunately, Carol and Stephanie lost their lives because of that fire. Furry family Max and Moose were also lost in the fire.

Tom was life flighted to the burn unit in Minneapolis. He spent four weeks there and on July 27th succumbed to his injuries. Tom had minimal health insurance and the bills left behind unfortunately are adding up quickly.

Tom, Carol and Stephanie are together but left behind some amazing family. If you knew these three, any good adjective would describe them. They cared so much for so many people and their community. It's hard to actually put into words how great of people they were.

We are trying to raise money to help ease the financial burden of these great losses.
