Fire devastation

Donation protected
On Sunday April 28 Loree and Rick got a call while attending Church that their home was on fire.  Cathy, Loree's elderly mother was home with their dog Dakota .She quickly closed the basement door and got them both outside .  This contained the majority of the fire to the basement .
When Matthew, Loree's son, turned down his street, completely unaware of what was happening,  firefighters were already fighting the blaze.  The smoke would engulf and damage every inch of their home.
You might recognize Rick from his fundraising for the Ronald McDonald House, and his accident last year while training for his "ride for Hope"..Rick and Loree built the Little Free Pantry and make sure it is filled for members of Wallaceburg that are in need . Every month they cook a community meal at the Bethel Pentecostal Church.  They are board members for Chatham Hope Haven mens' shelter.  They distribute soup to people in need every week .
They give to their community . They love their community and are committed to impacting and making it a better place..

The fire has put them all out of their home .  Loree, Matthew, Rick, Cathy and Rick's twin boys . Loree is a full time nursing student who has been off of work since breaking her ankle. Matthew is starting a new job Monday. Rick is preparing for upcoming surgery.  If anyone has ever needed the support of their community, it's this family. Outrageous medication costs are battled daily. There seems to be no way to begin to fix this .But there is always a way . Can you help?
