On Saturday the 23 of July, a close friend of mine found out her children's home was on fire. Her twin daughters and their families all live together on Bainbridge Island, WA where their significant others are Coast Guards. In a freak accident their home was gone, and they lost everything. Thankfully everyone was able to get out of the house. Praise God.
My friend, Kymberlee has photos and more of the story on her blog The Paper Midwife.
As you can imagine the loss and fear of what could have happened is overwhelming. Trying to start over and build your life from scratch with 2 small children is difficult, to say the least. So I would like to ask all of you amazing and supportive crafty friends if you could send a card of encouragement to this family. Something that may help lift their spirits as they make their way through this difficult transition.
If you'd like to send cards to the children, Ethan is 4 and Bentley is 18 months.
Cards can be sent to:
Sutton/Durrant Family
Fort Street Fire Donations
