Help the Heinzen family recover from a robbery!

Hello everyone. I am trying to raise funds for my good friend, Jodi Heinzen, and her family.

In the early hours of October 27, her vehicle was stolen out of her closed garage here in Cheyenne, WY. Thankfully the robbers did not want into the house because for those who don't know, Jodi has 5 children. She is a single mom who has spent countless years working her butt off to provide for her family.

The vehicle that was stolen was a 2008 GMC Yukon XL with over 200,000 miles on it. She loved the vehicle because it fit her large family. Unfortunately, the money that insurance is paying her won't even come close to the cost of replacing it. In addition, the robbers also took frozen meat in the garage freezer, food from the garage pantry and gas. Jodi's wallet was also in the vehicle when it was stolen.

The vehicle was found in Denver wrecked and totaled. There was trash, hypodermic needles, bent spoons and other drug paraphernalia, and more stolen items inside.

Jodi has rolled with the punches, and seems to always remember that God's plan is never wrong. My heart aches for her and her family, and I see the expenses keep adding up quickly. I am asking for anything that you can give to help her family.

I know the cost to replace her vehicle will be considerably more than what her stolen car was totaled out at. Jodi isn’t looking for a new vehicle, just something adequate for her family. In addition, her daughter is a senior, and the bills add up with senior photos, graduation robes, and the other costs that come with it. In a family of 5, food goes fast, and the food that was stolen in the garage is another expense. Add to that Christmas is right around the corner, and I cannot imagine the weight on Jodi's shoulders.

I simply want to help Jodi and her family recover. I would absolutely love to make this a great holiday season after everything they've been through.
