Support for the Kahler family
Dear NMC colleagues,
Last night Kari Kahler and her family suffered a chimney fire and lost their entire home. Kari and her family (Chad and Casey) are safe and are staying at a neighbor’s home for the time being. In the coming days, weeks and months, Kari, who has been such a caring support for many NMC staff, faculty, and students, will now need our support and encouragement.
Many of you have already asked what you can do to help. If you would like to offer your words of support and encouragement in the form of a card or note, please feel free to drop these off in the Advising Center for delivery to the Kahler family. The Advising Center and Student Life Office will also be collecting funds to purchase gift cards to Meijer, Target, local restaurants, etc. for Kari and her family to utilize.
If you would like to drop off either money or gift cards to support Kari and her family, please put them to the attention of either Lindsey Dickinson – Advising Center or Lisa Thomas – Student Life Office. We will be collecting donations for at least the next 2-3 weeks.
Please feel free to pass this information on to any NMC staff that you know would want to be aware of this situation. The family can certainly use our thoughts, prayers and words of encouragement at this time.
Thank you,
Lisa Thomas
