Hello Everyone,

Some of us have been in touch with the Kuppers, a German family which has spent time in Gold Hill with old friends over many years. Several of us remember Elias, one of the Kupper sons, who has been so helpful in lending a hand with construction, harvesting, or whatever needs doing when he is here.

In terms of what is needed by the Germans who just experienced such devastating floods and many deaths, Elias just let me know that they need labor, but financial assistance is of course needed, too. Fyi below are options to help with the latter, if interested:
