On Wednesday July 9th, 2008 a fire swept through our friend Barbara Schmitt's rented home at 3288 S. Elm Street in Southeast Denver. Fortunately, Barb was not physically injured in the fire, as she was away from her home attending a local charity event.

Unfortunately, Barb's two dogs were home at the time. Her beloved dog, Benny, a golden Labrador retriever, died in the fire. The other dog, Surry, a German shepherd that she rescued a few years ago, was also killed in the fire. These two dogs were Barb's 'family' and meant everything to her.

Nearly everything Barb owned was destroyed in the fire, leaving her with literally the clothes on her back. As a result, she is left with few options to begin the process of rebuilding her life.

The purpose of this site is to provide you, her family, friends and supporters, with a centralized location where you can receive information on how you can help Barb. We hope that you will forward this website address to people that know Barb, and/or those that would be willing to help.

Thanks to everyone for their recent donations. (Carl Peterson, Marty Bertolette, Anja Grant, and Kathy Tomlinson.) The donations are beginning to roll in, which is fantastic news. However, we still have have a ways to go to meet our goals, so please continue to spread the word. We are still in the process of determining our next course of action, but that is not possible without your support.
