Most of us can only imagine the magnitude of loss in witnessing the destruction of a life’s work. We labor each and every day to build a life for ourselves and our family, often sacrificing a great deal in order to provide for our children or other members of our family.
Our neighbors - the Sisley’s - are experiencing an incredible loss, in many respects the tangible sum total of their life’s efforts. We are a community that has repeatedly demonstrated its incredible compassion, humanity, and love via the countless acts of generosity conveyed on behalf of our most vulnerable neighbors.
We are now called to service in support of a family in great need; they have lost heir home, their beloved pets, and the physical momentos of an entire life.
Please consider your ability to assist the Sisley’s as they begin the long journey of rebuilding their lives. Those of us who are able to help, can take great pride in knowing that even the smallest contribution will go a long way towards helping to ease some portion of the burden, their journey will entail. Knowing that we are here, willing to share this journey may bring some level of comfort to our neighbors.
