Hi, I'm Shauna Gough, and my daughter Hannah and her roommate Julian just lost virtually everything they own in an apartment fire on Friday, May 27. (Please turn photo sideways to see up the stairs from the front door of their now former apartment.) We are incredibly thankful they weren't there when it happened, and I'm impressed by them both for maintaining such a positive and grateful attitude - so resilient!

While they can't replace the sentimental possessions they lost, they do need to start from scratch with basic items like bedroom and living room furniture, kitchen basics, etc. If you can donate anything at all on their behalf, our family would be so appreciative, as this is more than a little overwhelming for them as they now try to find another place to live and start over.
