As many of you know a very dear friend of ours Reni Redmond and her family lost everything they owned in a tragic fire on September 11th. As if loosing everything you own and having to start over isn’t difficult enough imagine having to do so with two small children. They literally made it out with the clothes on their backs and some diapers/wipes. Thank goodness they all made it out safely (including Blue, the family dog) but still loosing everything you have ever worked for is devastating. For those of you who don’t know Reni, she is the most wonderful, kind hearted, hard working, nurturing, do anything for you, give you the shirt of her back kind of person. I’ve always admired her and even more so now, her strength is incredible!
To help the Redmond family out a group of us planned and held a yard sale to raise funds for the family to help rebuild. All items that were sold were donations, we sent the information out to everyone we knew to try and gather as much stuff as we could. The day was a huge success and a big part of that was do to "Good Day Sacramento" sending out Ashley Williams to broadcast live from the event.

Us girls (Reni, Shannon, Myself and Amanda) with Ashley Williams after we were interviewed on the news. We all wore "Team Redmond" shirts, Marcus even had a "Team Redmond" onesie! Its was a fun day and I'm glad we were able to help Reni and her Family out.
Love,
Chris and Katie
