“Please bring women’s clothes, toiletries, and linens as they lost everything,” Drew said. “I was with Adrianne and her family a few weeks ago at an event to combat domestic violence. They are resolute but have endured more than anyone should ever have to. Anything you can do will be appreciated.
“Thank you in advance for your kindness and compassion for this family that has been through so much!”
