Help Us Help a Local Family Who Lost Their Home in a Fire

The Davoust Family--Bob, Tracy and their sons Josh and Steve--lost their home and most of their possessions to fire last week here in Durango, as you may have seen in this front page article in the Durango Herald.  We'd like to help this local family, who are friends of the shop, and we're asking for your help. 

Maria's Bookshop will match whatever we collect from the community and create an account for the Davousts, allowing them to replace books they lost in the fire.  There's a jar on our front counter; if you can't come by in person, please send a check made out to Maria's Bookshop, 960 Main Avenue, Durango, CO 81301 ("Davoust Family" in the memo line) and we'll add it into the pot.  We'll accept donations through June 20th.

Jasper Welch, a friend of the family, has set up this blog to help share information about how the Davousts are faring.

Questions?  Feel free to send them to libby@mariasbookshop.com.

Thanks for helping us help this great local family.
