Thankfully Michael, Kathleen and Haydn are safe and they have the amazing community of Ketchikan to help them rebuild their lives. In less than a week the GoFundMe fundraiser for the McMahons had raised over $19,000.

"The funds will go towards temporary housing, clothes , rebuilding their lives and anything they may need until they can rebuild their permanent home," Jill Jackson and Abby Kosmos organizers of a fundraiser wrote on GoFundMe. "They are very overwhelmed but want to extend how very grateful they are to the community of Ketchikan and friends from out of state wanting to help."
