Hello Federation Family,

I come to you sharing sad news. Our dear friend Helen's home caught fire Monday night. Her and her mother were out of town and were not harmed.  Luckily her brother was able to make it out okay. 

Helen's mom is recovering from breast and spine cancer. Helen herself has several neurological diseases which are chronic and severe. Her brother is recovering from congestive heart failure which has been complicated by COPD and several pulmonary embolisms. they take care of each other and do a really good job but with the loss of their home and car, they find themselves at a financial disadvantage. 

Helen does a great job in helping our community as the Red Rocks Chapter president , as a friend, and a great mentor. We love Helen and her family. We understand this is hard on Helen and her family so we ask if you are able to make any donations please Venmo Helen at @hmeckman or click on the link below.
