Help Erich Recover from Devastating Fire

Donation protected
Over 30 years ago, my good friend Erich Paulsen bought a burnt-out Victorian home in Peekskill, NY. A carpenter by trade, he lovingly restored it to be better than it was before. Throughout this period, he was very generous with his time and talents, helping others with their home improvement projects. Now, Erich could use some help.

A fire on March 14, 2025, destroyed much of the rear of his home, with smoke and water damage throughout. The Peekskill Fire Department responded within a few minutes, but the fire spread very quickly. Erich is very thankful to them for saving as much of his home as they did. The good news is that there were no injuries and Erich is fine. Now, at 82 years old, Erich is determined to rebuild yet again.

Would you be willing to help this man with a small donation? The money will be used to clear out the rubble, restore the electricity, rebuild floors, walls, ceilings, replace bathroom fixtures, major appliances, purchase furnishings, and so much more. Please consider supporting him. No donation is too small.

Thank you in advance for your generosity and for caring.
