fire aftermath

Wendy Needs Our Help

Five Hutton staff members evacuated as the fires spread through Spokane. One of them lost everything.

Our counselor, Wendy Straudenraus, had only five minutes to leave and escaped with almost nothing. Right now, her greatest need is a furnished place to stay, along with help replacing basic necessities.

We're coordinating ways to help Wendy through the difficult days ahead.

Here’s how our community can help right now.

Wendy Needs Temporary Housing

Wendy and her daughter need a furnished place where they can stay together while they figure out what comes next.

They’re looking for a pet-friendly rental with a fenced yard. Their two dogs are potty-trained and weigh 40 and 20 pounds.

If you know of a guest house, short-term rental, or other housing that might be a good fit, we’d love to hear from you.

Please email huttonptg@gmail.com.

Gift Cards for Everyday Essentials

Wendy would love gift cards so she can purchase exactly what she needs as her situation changes.

Most helpful gift cards include:

  • Target
  • Visa gift cards
  • DoorDash

If possible, write the gift card amount on the envelope or include a note with the card.

You can drop gift cards off at the Hutton Elementary front office anytime, Monday - Friday, 8:30 - 3:00.
