Duluth family in need
Donation protected
My neighbor and friend Glen, and his daughter Sarayah have had a really bad year. Glen's wife Lori passed away suddenly from a heart attack about a year ago. They were recently given 60 days notice to be out their home. Then, last night (04/25/23) a catastrophic fire destroyed their garage. This was the scene from my back yard: https://photos.app.goo.gl/x8exfawzerPoqaE77
They have renters insurance, but it will only cover a fraction of what was lost. Such a loss would be really hard for anyone. But for Glen and Sarayah this is especially devastating. Glen is a handyman. He does odd-jobs, snow removal, and salvage/scrap work to put food on the table. All of his tools and equipment were in that garage. So for them, this isn't just the loss tens of thousands of dollars in personal property, but also the loss of how Glen provides for his family.
Glen is great guy. Like the saying goes: He'd give the shirt off his back to help someone out. He's the first person I call if I need to borrow a tool or I get jammed up on a car or home repair project. If you're so inclined, please give what you're able to help Glen and Sarayah get back on their feet.
Thank you, and God bless.
