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.

US Bank Donation Information

It has come to my attention that the US Bank Account originally set up in Barb's name was incorrectly labeled with the wrong name ('Schmidt', instead of 'Schmitt'). That information was published in some of the articles referenced below. While we are trying to correct those errors, we are directing donations to the Wells Fargo Account, managed by Keith Gliner, at this time. For more information, contact Keith at 303-521-1562 or K_Gliner@Yahoo.com (See donation information next to this post.)
I've also posted an additional article below about this tragedy. We're making progress...keep up the great work!
