Adams family in need of some help
Donation protected
As some of you may have heard there was an apartment fire in Occoquan Tuesday January 16th that displaced several people and their pets, one of those people being our beloved Mel, along with her husband and family Dog, Shi. The fire was unforgivable and they lost EVERYTHING except the clothes on their back. This is coming immediately after a prolonged intense hospital stay where she almost lost her life, and just a short time after the company we were all loyal to for almost a decade decided to put us in a HORRIBLE financial situation a week before Christmas and we found ourselves without jobs before the holidays. While she's piecing her life together after this series of unfortunate events and stabilizing all aspects of her life once more, we ask that any donations of any amount are appreciated to help them while they get back on their feet and find a new roof to put over their heads. She's been through enough over the last few years, I hope her community will give back and help this little lady out.
If anyone wants to donate directly here is their Venmo, if you would like to stay anonymous you may use this platform.
