The woman behind the Ask Patty program promoting female-friendly tire and auto service businesses is experiencing a family challenge due to the wildfires in California. Jody DeVere’s son, Joseph DeVere, and his wife Rosanna, lost their home and everything in it in the Woolsey Fire in Agoura Hills, California. Her son is 100% disabled and this complicates his care and immediate needs to replace medical equipment, medical supplies, clothing, bedding, towels, beds, furniture, kitchen, pet supplies and food and many more needs.
Her son is safe and the couple and their many pets do have a vacant home to move to once they gather what they need to handle his needs.
If you have any interest in helping, you’re invited to donate to Joseph DeVere at his Go Fund Me page here.
You can also mail donation checks and note “DeVere Fire Fund” on your check to St John’s Lutheran Church, 42695 Washington St., Palm Desert, CA 92211. Donations are tax deductible.
