My name is Bill. My colleagues and I are heartbroken to learn of a devastating event that happened on Tuesday evening in Monroe, NY. Our colleague, our friend, lost his house this past Tuesday night due to a fire that totally destroyed his families home. He, his wife and 2 young daughters were fortunate to escape the home without physical injury but only with the cloths they were wearing. They have lost everything else.

Our friend is a talented, hard working and caring family man who now needs to find a way to start over from scratch. I know, over time, they will get back on their feet despite how bleak and overwhelming this feels today. While this modest goal won't replace the lost memories or material possessions, it will help cloth them, feed them and help them start their recovery with their daughters. Please give what you can to show support for this beautiful family and help so they can begin to rebuild their lives.
