GoFundMe Distribution
Dear Neighbors,
My husband Josh, our 9 month old James and I lived at 980 Saint Andrews. We, like many of you, lost our home. In the wake of this tragedy, the flood of support from friends, family and colleagues truly stunned us. Once we had our immediate needs met, I realized we still had many people in our network who wanted to help. To help direct this good will towards something we knew could help, we started a GoFundMe for the Coal Creek Ranch Neighborhood. The intent is to assist as many families as we can, purchase a new mattress. Most of us will end up in unfurnished rentals while we rebuild, and nothing makes you feel more at home than your own bed. We reached out to Denver Mattress/Furniture Row who have agreed to offer 50% off Denver Mattress Brand Mattresses and 50% off Furniture Row retail purchases (see attached flyer). We're very excited this local company has agreed to help. This offer is available to any Marshall Fire Victim through 12/31/22 and will help our GoFundMe money stretch even further.
Here is the GoFundMe. To date we've raised just over $19,000 from 121 donors. https://gofund.me/4d4247fd
In an effort to fairly distribute the funds, I'm asking that families email me directly at liz.wg.landwehr@gmail.com and let me know a couple things. Name, Coal Creek address, type of damage (total loss, partial or smoke) and a mailing address where I can send the Gift Card. I will take households on a first come first served basis.
Thank you and I look forward to rebuilding our neighborhood and community. Until then, we, and all our GoFundMe donors hope you can get a good night's rest.
Liz Landwehr, Josh Landwehr and James Landwehr
