Rachel was one of my first brides when I started STC, back in April 2005. She and Steven just celebrated their 3rd anniversary last week and they have an adorable son who is 14 months old. In the short time I've known them, I've gotten to know this family and have come to consider them dear friends. Their house was struck by lightening on Sunday. The firefighters were able to eventually put the fire out, but the house is a complete loss. I am so thankful that they escaped without a scratch, but they've obviously suffered a huge loss.

To help them get through this until the insurance kicks in, we've come up with some ways for people to contribute immediate funds and donations.
