UPDATE: PLEASE DIRECT ALL DONATIONS TO GOFUNDME OR VENMO.
- Contributing to the GoFundMe or Venmo ensures the Girouard family receives funds directly. All donations made through Change.org go towards helping the petition reach more people by garnering more views, as well as keeping the platform free for the public.
The Girouard residence is not just a home—it’s an example of affordable housing in one of the most expensive regions in the country. By donating, you’re not only helping a family fight an unjust eviction, but also standing up for housing security and community preservation.
Every signature, share, and donation gets us one step closer to protecting the Girouards and ensuring Rhus Ridge keeps its caretakers. Let’s keep up the momentum!
Thank you for your kindness and support.
Sincerely,
The Rees and Schroeder families, on behalf of the Girouard family
