Please join us starting at 11 on Sat. February 21 at Club 16, in raising money to help Greg & Anne with temporary housing, replacing essentials, and all the expenses (including labor!) that come with rebuilding. We will have raffles, silent actions and live music from local bands.
If you have items you'd like to donate, please get in touch with myself (Amy), Jacin, Shane Burkwalt, Andrea Axelson or Dawn Rickert.
Hopefully something good can come from this date đź’śThank you, from the bottom of our hearts.
The backstory:
The Albertson family farm home—one that has been in our family for 72 years—was lost to a devastating fire on Christmas Eve. This is the home where my dad & then us kids grew up, where he spent the last 30 years renovating, building, repairing, from the roof and deck to the floors and walls—even sanding and staining; all with his own hands. Dad & Anne put heart and soul into every meticulous detail.
This house wasn’t just where they lived; it was the heart of our family, where generations gathered, stories were told, meals were shared, and memories were made.
Like many from their generations, they are too proud to ask for help. Dad and Anne have always been givers, not receivers—two of the kindest, most loving people you could meet, deeply rooted in helping others, community, and simple acts of kindness. Asking for support doesn’t come easily to them, which is why our family has came together in doing what we can to help.
Thank you for helping us in all efforts to begin rebuilding what was lost.
