Dearest community,

Our dear friends James Scott, Lisa Larn and her son were planning to move into the cabin on Lopa van der Mersch’s property on Sunshine Canyon Road…on Thursday 12/22. Both houses burned to the ground on Monday 12/19, and James and Lisa lost almost all of their belongings. Not only that, James spent the last 2 months and literal blood, sweat, and tears remodeling the cabin to make a beautiful home for his family. Their dream of a new life, & all his work burned up in smoke, too.

The majority of James and Lisa’s personal belongings were completely lost, including all household possessions, clothes, furniture, irreplaceable art, and gifts for the upcoming holidays. They did not have insurance, so every dollar helps tremendously.

They are also seeking discounted 3 bed, 2 bath housing in Boulder.

The money raised will help offset some of their losses, and support them during this holiday season. Please consider helping their family so that at the very least they don't have to worry about money during this terribly tragic time. Abundant thanks for your support!
