Jennifer Burke from Soul Essentials lost her home in Ocala, FL on March 8, 2016. It is a total loss. We all know and love Jennifer. You may not know she just finished radiation treatments for a brain tumor. She needs so much to get back on her feet and we can help her do that. Please, if you can donate, any amount, even $5.00 is valuable and so much appreciated. There is a donation page at https://www.youcaring.com/jennifer-burke-536118#.VucNDw75NiE.facebook. Here’s the story and links to the news coverage and videos of the fire.
Maeve Hughes writes, “We went by to check on Jennifer Burke at Soul Essentials on Saturday. I’ve been sharing the story, her home/business caught fire last Tuesday. She’s positive and safe but exhausted and overwhelmed, please continue sending tons of love. If you can help w clean up or replacing all her documents or deal w insurance calls (she lost her whole purse, entire wardrobe, her cat Precious, bed, jewelry… all her personal belongings including vitamins, post radiation medications, crystals, tapestries, keepsakes… all) then stop by, if not please just send love or donate to one of the links below, it’s hard to get things done otherwise.
The store is fine except for some water and smoke damage and no power, she can’t reopen until the ceiling is secured downstairs.
The entire front upstairs where she lived is gutted from the fire, she has a place to stay close by while repairs and cleanup ensue. Where there is a will there is a way, and i have never met anyone who can rise more beautiful from the ashes like Phoenix the way Jenn can.
Meditations/drum circle/Meetings will resume when the store opens, some of the teachers are rescheduling elsewhere, please check in w them to verify.
She is being flooded w calls/messages from well wishers, if you don’t hear back that’s why. The online store is still up and running, now is the time to buy what’s been on your mind and help us help Jenn help herself so she can continue helping others.
If you want to help out but aren’t close, I’ll post the links below to help w her recent brain surgery expenses and to recover her home. Message me if you’d like to help out w other goods and services, I’ll be working w her to make a list of the supplements she needs, if anyone is available to help her w secretary work that would be amazing! Lol. So beyond amazing. It’s tough to organize your head when your home and personal belongings are gone.
It won’t take much if everyone that has fallen in love with her store will help a little bit.
This is to help with her home and store repairs:
