Fire Relief for Kristen

Donation protected
I'm Kristen's sister Shannon, and I am working on helping her put her life back together after a devastating fire destroyed her home. In January she packed up her life in Portland and moved to Talent OR. Since arriving she has dealt with an international pandemic, being on paid leave from work due to said pandemic, and now a devastating fire. Kristen needs our support and reminders of how much we love her.

On September 8th Kristen was evacuated out of her apartment in Talent OR. She was given 30 minutes to grab whatever she could and her roommates 3 cats.  As many people know, the Alameda/Glendower fire has decimated Phoenix and Talent Oregon. Kristen's apartment has burned to the ground.

At this exact moment she has the few personal items that she grabbed (like Roxy), her roommates 3 cats, a few changes of clothes and her car.  We know that everything she owned in the apartment is ashes. She does have a storage unit, but no one is sure whether it survived and if it did the status of her items. If it did survive, the chance that everything is completely filled with smoke is high. At this stage I'm assuming that will be a total loss as well.

She is going to need money for a temporary place to live, replacing ALL her clothes (and we know how much Kristen likes her clothes), food, a bed, computer & sheets and everything else. Once she's in a new place she will need to replace EVERYTHING - from towels to a coffee pot. Basically this is the security that will help her start to rebuild her life in the Rogue Valley.

We know that $5000 won't even cover the cost to replace her clothes, but it will at least get her some warm winter clothing. We don't know what the status of her roommates renters insurance is, so we are assuming that it is not an option.

We all know how proud Kristen is, and how much she has supported those around her. Accepting this is going to be really hard for her, and it's time that we wrap around her and take care of her.
