Gurnee Fire Victims

Hello friends... There's been a lot of news lately of tragedies around the world, as you may know, I've been working on one closer to home. I've had six neighbors displaced due to a fire that occurred at the end of October. I've been in contact with two families and sadly, the association that we pay dearly for is not helping them... I'm going to be sending out 300 letters this week to the folks in my neighborhood reaching out to help as well... but what's easier than posting on FB? Folks, insurance is not covering everything for these folks. The guy I spoke to last night told me his live-in girlfriend lost everything and isn't covered by insurance because her name isn't on the home. SAD! Instead of buying that coffee and donut tomorrow, please consider donating $5 to help these families out... thanks!
