This has been unfolding over the past few days – first an open letter from Southwest Youth and Family Services‘ Cara Kroenke about an urgent need for community help for the family rocked by last month’s quadruple murder-suicide shootings – then a followup last night, and today another update from Cara:

Thank you for the kindness and support to the Phan/Harm family in response to the letter which is included below.

We have rented a temporary storage space and will have it open this Saturday from 11-4 for you to be able to drop off donations for the family.

The family is no longer in need of a couch/sofa, but we still need beds, furniture and whatever gently used household items that you can spare. From drinking glasses to tables to lamps to spatulas, we can use them!

Here is the address of the storage unit:
7133 Delridge Way SW, Seattle, 98106

If you would rather make a financial contribution, or drop off the items at the agency, that is wonderful to!
SWYFS 4555 Delridge Way SW, 98106

Today the agency is open from 9-3 and will re-open on Monday from 9-7. Please call 206-937-7680 if you have any questions.

If you would like to help other families in crisis, trauma and other difficult situations that aren’t so public, please donate directly to SWYFS by designating “for the agency”, otherwise all donations will go directly to the family.

Thank you again for your generous and kind spirits.

Best,
Cara Kroenke
