Raising Money For Fire Victims
Posted by InstaKey on 12/13/08 in Society
I am seeking all Good Samaritans out there who will aid me in raising money for a family who recently lost their home. The California wildfires have devastated many homes in recent weeks and so, with my home and property in tact, I feel the need to help. I have a co-worker who lives a couple of towns away from me whose house was completely burned down when the Santa Ana winds swept the flames his way. He lived there with his wife and two children, ages six and eleven. Both kids were born in that house so all of their memories have been destroyed. To add insult to injury, the couple had scraped and saved to add portable spas facilities to the back yard. They had recently paid a bundle to install not one but two jacuzzis.
Being such generous and giving people, they had a smaller jacuzzi built specifically for their kids so they could have the neighbors over for parties at the weekends. I happen to know they had also made a down payment to one of the more expensive hot tub dealers in the area to remodel their own bathroom. It is so sad to see this co-worker of mine who has worked so hard to have the nice things in his life literally fall down around him. I am starting up a fund to collect money to help him and his wife rebuild their home. I really appreciate anyone who will help me in raising money for this cause.
