On February 28th Anne Erridge-Rusnell's home was lost due to an accidental fire. Due to VERY limited insurance and financial resources it was a total loss. Anne is a dedicated and consistent individual who has worked hard her entire life, and has lived in this home for 15 years. She had just recently paid it off, and was planning retirement within the next couple years. Almost every single material item she had is now gone. Anne has always been an extremely generous person who would help friends and family members at any time. She has taken in family members who needed a place to live, and consistently hosted family dinners, along with holiday parties.
Anne has endured the unexpected loss of her son in recent years, and still remained consistent with her job, her commitment to her very close family, and has had a routine that is rarely interrupted. Anne is a woman that not only needs an outpouring of help, but also deserves it. When someone as dedicated, loyal, and consistent as she is faces the total destruction of everything she worked very hard for, it's tough for her to realize that her dedication is worth it. Her family, friends, and community now have the opportunity to show Anne that this is just a bump in the road of life. Please help us get Anne the financial assistance she needs to rebuild and return to her routine. Any, and all assistance is greatly appreciated. Thank you!
