Fundraiser for the Taveras Family Fire in DR

On Friday, May 10, my father-in-law lost everything he has ever worked for in a terrible house fire. He lived in the United States for many years but his dream was to move back home, to the Dominican Republic, and live off the land. He was living his dream doing just that. Unfortunately, his dream turned into a complete nightmare when the home that he and his wife worked very hard to build for themselves and their young daughter, Chelsea (age 8), was overtaken by a terrible fire. The fire destroyed their entire home and both of their vehicles. Where they live there is not even a fire department who could have assisted them. They were left to watch everything they own be destroyed before their eyes and wait until the fire extinguished on its own. Things are very different in the Dominican Republic (than over here) and they do not have insurance for their homes and vehicles so, they truly have to start from scratch. They have been left with absolutely nothing. Thankfully they are all safe and still have each other through this tragedy. Eddie and I as well as his father and his wife and little sister would be so very grateful for any amount you are willing and able to contribute. Prayers are welcome too! Thank you from the bottom of our hearts.
