Give Back to Don and Donna Gee
Donation protected
On March 21st at 12:18 am I got a call from my grandma. She told me her house caught fire and everything was basically destroyed.
Her husband, my grandfather, Donald Gee, is a retired teacher from Mynderse Academy in Seneca Falls, NY.
Everything they owned (aside from their RV and vehicle) were destroyed in the blaze. Priceless items, items of value, personal items... All gone in a moment; my grandpa's old Coca Cola collection, his panda collection, my grandma's doll and Barbie collections, photos, trophies, and Lily their cat.
Luckily my grandparent's were in Florida and they were not hurt. Two of their grandchildren were staying in their house while they were gone, but thankfully were not there when house went up in flames.
Already there has been prayers and support pouring in via Facebook. Everyone in our community adores my grandparents. When I was in school, every year at least once a teacher would ask me if Don was my grandfather. When I said, "Yes" their response would always be, "Mr. Gee was my favorite teacher!" And then my grandma is the most selfless person I have ever met. She's constantly volunteering for her church and community, helping others and giving to those in need.
My goal is to give back to my grandparents who have given anything they ever could to help others, and now have lost their home. They would most certainly do the same for anyone else. With friends, family, and a community as kind as their's, I know it is possible to provide help and support to rebuild their home and life. Anything will help.
