Support the Katolin Family's Fresh Start

Dear friends and family, some of you already know of the horrific event that occurred to our family on Saturday, June 29th. The Katolin family, Taylor, Ashley, and their 2 beautiful children, Dean (5) and Audrey (11 months) lost everything in a raging house fire. They narrowly escaped the fire with what they were wearing, minus shoes. Our overarching emotion is one of extreme gratitude. By the grace of God, we have been gifted with the greatest gift of all, our healthy, whole family. Their home has been deemed a total loss with virtually nothing retrievable from the site. In the immediate stretch ahead, they will need to make a new start.

We have been overwhelmed with the response of the community who are graciously offering support of all kinds. The show of love and prayers has been absolutely extraordinary and has bolstered this young family in their very worst moment.

Thank you to all who have contributed in a myriad of beautiful ways. We will continue to rally around the Katolin family as they march forward.

For those of you who are inclined to join this support effort, please use this link to contribute in any way. We thank you from the bottom of our hearts for your contributions and loving care.
