In a desperate scramble to gather their belongings and load as much as possible into their car, the family found themselves leaving behind much more than they cared to. Recalling the desperate escape from the flames, Robin says: \u201cWe lost everything. I\u2019m sorry. It\u2019s not been two months since it happened, but I still get so emotional. I have good days and bad days.\u201d To complicate the situation further, Robin\u2019s mother had collected money from insurance, but apparently did not share any with Robin. \u201cI lost everything I owned!\u201d she says. \u201cThis has really stressed our relationship.\u201d<\/p><p>Robin\u2019s local softball team had run a fundraiser for her, which allowed her to rent a bedroom in someone else\u2019s home. Though livable in the short term, the arrangement did not accommodate complicated family dynamics. Robin\u2019s daughters spent most of their time after the fires living with their father, from whom Robin was divorced. Robin lamented not having enough space for her daughters, and living too far from where they attend school.<\/p><p>Through your regular support of ADRA, you helped to provide Robin with gift cards that would assist her in replacing some of the goods in the house that she lost to the wildfires, and to cover some of her personal needs in the meantime. Robin\u2019s message to the ADRA workers who served her also applies to donors like you: \u201cThank you again for everything. You have given me hope.&#8221;<\/p><p><!-- \/wp:paragraph --><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Alors que nous continuons de faire face aux cons\u00e9quences durables des feux de for\u00eat canadiens de 2023, nous d\u00e9couvrons parfois des histoires d&#039;espoir parmi les braises.
