Single Mother Loses Everything In Forest Fire Out West & Moves To Joliet With Her Three Children

An incredible story of survival and generosity in Joliet. Wendy from Ashland, Oregon loses her husband last year and a one year later she loses her home to forest fires. Wendy has been working extra hours to provide for her three children ages 11-15. But fires in Ashland, Oregon forced her to evacuate with only the clothes on her back. Her sister who lives in Joliet bought her a one way ticket and now Wendy is beginning again. A Go Fund Me page has been set up for her considering she lost everything in the fire.

WJOL listeners answered the call. Mark from Sam’s Club donated a $1,000 gift card and Michelle in honor of her son who died tragically 8 years ago, donated a $5,000 shopping spree to The Buckle at Orland Square Mall.
