Donation protected
Dear friends, family, and compassionate individuals,

We, Chris, Kellen, Renee, and Natasha, the daughters of Marsha and John, are coming together to launch this fundraising campaign on behalf of our beloved parents. Marsha's son, Chris, and his wife, Kellen, along with Marsha's daughters, Renee and Natasha, have created this platform to seek your support and generosity. Our aim is to assist Marsha and John in rebuilding their lives after a devastating flood has left their home in ruins.

Marsha and John have been pillars of our community for over three decades, making a positive impact in the lives of countless individuals. Marsha's expertise as a skilled and cherished hairdresser has brought smiles to the faces of her clients, while John's dedication as an electrician has ensured the safety and functionality of homes and businesses in our area. As a family, we have witnessed their unwavering commitment to our community and their willingness to lend a helping hand whenever needed.

The Impact of the Flood:
Regrettably, our parents' home in Vermont has recently fallen victim to a devastating flood, leaving them in dire need of financial assistance. This flood has caused extensive damage that surpasses even the hardships they endured during Hurricane Irene in 2011. As a result, Marsha and John are now faced with the overwhelming task of rebuilding their lives and restoring their home.

Fundraising Goal: $15,000

Objectives:
1. Removing Debris and Restoration: The aftermath of the flood has left their yard cluttered with debris, hindering their progress towards recovery. Your generous contributions will help fund the removal and disposal of this wreckage, enabling Marsha and John to start afresh.

2. Repair and Upgrades: The flood has taken a significant toll on the basement of their main house, demanding immediate repairs. Structural issues need to be addressed, and thorough cleaning of the furnace and hot water heater is necessary for their proper functioning. The funds raised will be allocated towards these essential repairs, ensuring Marsha and John have a safe and comfortable living environment once again.

3. Driveway Restoration: The floodwaters have washed away their driveway, creating a significant obstacle for Marsha and John. By contributing to this campaign, you will assist them in restoring their driveway with crush pack, allowing safe access to their home and alleviating additional burdens.

4. Yard Rehabilitation: The once vibrant and welcoming yard has been covered in river silt, rendering it unusable and disheartening. Your support will enable Marsha and John to purchase grass seed and undertake landscaping efforts, transforming their yard into a beautiful and tranquil space that reflects their resilience.

Marsha and John have been beacons of light in our community, touching lives through their professions and their unwavering dedication to helping others. Today, they find themselves in need of our collective support. No contribution is too small, and your generosity will make a profound impact on their journey to rebuild their lives and restore their cherished home.

In these challenging times, we understand the strain many face, and we wholeheartedly appreciate your consideration and support. Together, we can assist Marsha and John in overcoming this significant setback, reinforcing the bond of community and compassion. Thank you sincerely for your kindness, empathy, and for standing by Marsha and John during this difficult time.
