Help for Jerri Swenson
Donation protected
Last night, Jerri was at home with her dog and cat when she heard a funny noise coming from her wood stove. Fearing a chimney fire, she called 911. The operator told her to get out of the house immediately. She grabbed the animals, got in her car, and pulled down the dead end street to wait for the firemen.
Over the next four hours, she sat in her car and watched everything she owns burn to the ground.
No fewer than ten vehicles and crew responded to the fire. But in 3 degree and falling temperatures, it was a fast spreading blaze, and not much could be done to save the home.
Jerri had lovingly curated her collections of orchids, gifts from clients and friends, and family pictures. Living alone, she surrounded herself with the things she felt comforted by. Although they were just material things, many of them had associated stories and attached memories of dear people. Now she has to start over.
It is -15 this morning in Montana. In spite of that, Jerri has to start putting her life back together.
