Support the Irwin family as they search for Tom
Donation protected
Our dear friend Katie needs our support. Last Monday, her dad, Tom Irwin, went missing; he was last seen on a trail in Mesa Verde National Park in Colorado and there's currently a huge search for him taking place.
Katie and her family are in Colorado supporting the search and rescue team and park rangers with their efforts to find him and bring him home. Not only is this taking a huge emotional toll on the family, but a financial one too. Family flew in from the coasts, the midwest, and Europe to aid in the search, and they're staying in a rental home near the park. They've had to rent cars and take time off work to be there.
While we all send positive thoughts and hopes of answers soon, we're also hoping you'll join us in contributing some money toward their stay to help ease the financial burden of this incredibly challenging time that they're going through.
We appreciate any amount you can give. Please know that no amount is too small. Every gift to the Irwins lets them know we're holding them in our hearts and hoping for the best for Thomas and all of them.
Thank you so much!
Update: The family has confirmed total expenses come to $7,000, so we've increased the goal for this fundraiser. Thank you so much for giving and sharing with friends. Your support is appreciated!
