Support for the Karlson Family

Donation protected
In the middle of the night on Valentine’s Day, a fire ripped through the home of Tara & Scott Karlson while they slept. The terrifying ordeal resulted in Tara, Scott, Brien (11), and Kelly (9) going to the hospital. Unfortunately, Brien suffered life threatening injuries, and after a courageous fight, he didn’t make it. Brien was a curious and gentle soul whose love for people and animals was apparent to anyone who spent any amount of time with or around him. Tara and Scott are now experiencing every parent’s worst nightmare, and Kelly lost a best friend.

So many wonderful family and friends have reached out to see what they can do, and we would love to streamline efforts to help them to begin to rebuild the essentials. We know they are truly grateful to all of those reaching out to support them. When we experience our darkest moments, it is the people that lift us up that help us see the light.
