Dear R2R Family,

One of our beloved staff members, Cheryl @Tahoe61, recently lost her home and much loved dog Cali in a fire that consumed the home in a matter of minutes. (News link about the fire here.)

We are so thankful that Cheryl made it out alive. However, Cheryl and her husband lost everything in the fire and are now just left with the clothes on their back.

The R2R team would like to stand by Cheryl in this time of need. She is our comrade in good times and in bad. The first thing we are going to do is start a Go Fund Me on Cheryl's behalf:

https://www.gofundme.com/mpnxb8-lost-everything-in-a-fire

Please help us help Cheryl by donating what you can. More information will be shared in this thread as we get more information on how Cheryl is coping with this devastating loss.

Thank you everyone,
R2R Staff

Cheryl is easily one of the most dedicated mods we have. I’m so sorry that this happened and I’m praying for her and her family. I hope your recovery is as quick as possible.

So sorry for your loss, Cheryl. Donating a bit of money seems like such a small thing in light of all that is going on, but I hope it helps some.

Oh no! At the end of the day, "things" can be replaced. Thankfully they made it out safe. Hopefully they have friends and/or family they can lean on...

I am so sorry to read this, every now and then we are tested and we dont understand why such good people have to go through devestating experiences. The most important thing is that no one got hurt. Unfortunately the pet is lost. Cheryl tomorrow is another day and the house will be replaced, stay strong and true to your believes. You know the reef to reef comunity will be right there with you every step of the way. I will do my part to help you and your family and im sure many of us will do the same. Prayers are on the way.
