My sister, living in Titusville, Pa. lost everything in a devastating fire. The home is a total loss. She lived modestly, was a true "flower Child", cared nothing for the material things in life. Her sole purpose in life was rescuing/fostering lost/homeless/injured dogs and cats. She was at our cottage Tuesday night and had her 2 dogs with her but the kitties were at home and none of them survived the fire. Her grief over the loss of the fur babies is consuming. The article in the Titusville Herald, Thursday edition, shows the loss. Her son set up a "gofundme.com" account and it can be accessed by clicking on Help Chris. He posted the notice on Facebook and it is not getting a lot of exposure there. If there is anyone here in TV, where my husband and I live, who would be so kind as to make a small donation, it would be greatly appreciated. The Titusville Herald was going to do a story on Chris and her work with the local veterinarian and animal rescue, but she is a very private person and refused to have anything posted in the paper. The article on the fire did not post her name because they did not know at that time who lived in the house. I am going to attempt to post pictures, but not sure how successful I will be at that. If anyone is interested, you can send me a PM. Thank you so much for taking time to read my post.

I have met some "flower children" here in the Villages. I hope she gets a lot of help on Go Fund Me.

Bob:

You can donate with Visa, MC, Discover, AmEx, or PayPal.

You will be asked if you want to add a "tip" to support the sight but you don't have to.

So very sad. Sent a small donation.

No matter how compelling, some people do not do Go Fund Me. I am one of them.

Send your money directly to the person if you want to.

Why pay a charge for your kindness and charity???

GG, this is why I mentioned that anyone interested could PM me and I would provide more information if someone wanted to donate directly. She does still have the same address for mail, just has PO holding her mail. I don’t like the idea that they take a small percentage (8%), but as with any charity, they to have to make enough to keep them up and running. Chris was adamant that she didn’t want this published in the local papers. She is a very private person. The area we grew up in, Titusville, Oil City, Pithole, was a booming area during the discovery of oil. At one time, the wealthiest area in the country. It is now simply impoverished. When I grew up there, it was the home of the five major oil companies, Quaker. State, Pennzoil, Wolf's Head, Amalie, etc. when they all moved to Texas the area started its decline and there is nothing much left. My sisters attitude is, the people left there can barely keep their head above water and she is not asking any of them for donations. And she won’t contact any charities. She said they are for “people in need”. My question was, how much more in neeed can you be, than just. Losing everything but the clothes on your back???

Thank you Terry and Kathy for your kind donation.

It's pretty difficult to send it directly to the person when the person has no home, ie, NO ADDRESS ????? The house burned to the ground !!!!!

She may not have a house anymore but she should still have an address. Does she and can people still PM you for the info.?

Hope she is well. We can only imagine what she must be going through.

[Inexes@aol.com]

Yes you can PM me for information and she does now have it set up with the PO to hold her mail. Thank you for your interest.
