## Resource

The Aspen Acres Fire has left a trail of devastation, but hope is rising thanks to United Way of Southern Colorado’s wildfire relief fund, which has already raised over $470,000 toward its $10 million goal. Shanna Farmer, who lost her childhood home to fire in 1995, leads the charge with deep personal motivation, knowing how vital small acts of kindness were then—and how they still are now. Families like Abbie Krause’s, whose son’s home was destroyed, are finding solace in the outpouring of community support. A donation and distribution center in Pueblo is open daily, offering free essentials to evacuees—a lifeline helping them reclaim normalcy. Farmer urges those affected to remember: they’re not alone, and the community is here to rebuild together. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
