Help Sara Flaherty rebuild home

Donation protected
Just a few weeks ago, this GoFundMe page was established to help a family in need.  I am editing the page today due to a more tragic situation. 

On Dec 21, 2016 Sara Flaherty and children, were involved in a car accident. Everyone survived but Sara had injuries. Sara was out of work and her car was destroyed. The GoFundMe was originally to help them get through Christmas and help raise money for a vehicle so Sara can get back and forth work to provide for her family. 

Last night, as Sara's children slept, Sara's house caught on fire due to what looks like a chimney fire in the wall. Thankfully Sara was awake and called for help. The family escaped the fire and the surrounding area firemen came to the scene and did a wonderful job with the situation and helping the family. 

Sara now has nothing. 
No home, no car, no clothes, no food. 
Friends are banding together to provide shelter for the time being. Sara's home will need EXTENSIVE rehabilitation if it is ever to be habitable again. 

Due to a poor roof, she was denied homeowners insurance. There is no insurance policy to fix the house. 

We will update this page when we have details for a benefit dinner.  In the meantime, we will visit the house today in the daylight to see if the house can be fixed.  Please be thinking of handymen and women and or carpenters who  could assemble a team and volunteer to help fix her home.  

Also share this post to help us gather necessities such as clothing etc.

Sara wears a size 20 pants, 1xl or 2xl shirt and size 9 shoes. 

Son Jaden who is 13, wears a 30/30 pant,  medium men's shirt, 10 1/2 size shoe. 

Daughter Taryn is 9, she wears a girls  size 10, shoe size 3 1/2. 

They will need everything. Jackets, boots, shoes...everything. 

If you can help in some way, $5, a pair of socks, donating an item for a silent auction, volunteering to help fix the house.... whatever it is you feel able to do, it is much appreciated. 

Donations can be dropped off at Skywalkers Bar & Grille Tuesday - Saturday anytime after 2:30pm and by appointment if outside of that time frame, by contacting Danielle Parker at [phone redacted]

Thank you!
