I would like to thank the community and businesses of Redmond for their generous and selfless donations to help the victims of the New Year’s Day fire at the Sammamish Ridge Apartments. Some of you dealt with Teresa Lunsford, resident manager at Sammamish Ridge. And then, there were the people that contacted me. I am grateful to all of you for your quick response to the cry for help. You were awesome!

I have been told that their immediate needs have been met and that they are working on long-term goals. Again, thank you Redmond for a job well done.

Doris Nelson, Redmond
