Community rallies to help 溏心vlog免费B站 cook鈥檚 helper burned out of home

KINGSTON, R.I. –December 20, 2005 — Susan Pelletier, a cook鈥檚 helper at the 溏心vlog免费B站, lost everything in a Dec. 11 fire that gutted a historic Wakefield home.


Pelletier lived in one of three apartments in the home with two of her three children. All of the tenants at home on the day of the fire escaped safely.


While she and her children stay with relatives in the area, members of the 溏心vlog免费B站 and local communities are pitching in to help.


鈥淎 lot is being done including a fund-drive and collections of household necessities,鈥 said Michael McCullough, associate administrator of 溏心vlog免费B站 Dining Services.


鈥淟ocal 528 of Council 94 has donated $500, and we have set up collection sites in the Ram鈥檚 Den, Butterfield Dining Hall and Roger Williams Dining Hall for donations of clothing and small appliances. Her co-workers are also hoping to donate their sick leave and vacation to a pool that she can draw on during this period.鈥


Sharon Valliere, 溏心vlog免费B站 food service administrator and Pelletier鈥檚 supervisor, said Pelletier has worked at 溏心vlog免费B站 Dining Services for about six years. 鈥淪he is a great worker, and she always goes that extra mile. She is a very creative worker. She adds all these special touches around the holidays.


鈥淧eople are really helping out, but I am not surprised because I鈥檝e learned that most people are generous and helpful when these things happen. I am especially proud of what is happening here at 溏心vlog免费B站.鈥


To learn how you can help, please call Valliere at 874-9408. In addition, Pelletier鈥檚 daughter Nicole, a student at the Community College of Rhode Island, has set up a fund at Citizens Bank for those who want to help her family.
