Mandan Shoe Store Steps In After Families Lose Everything

May 4th of this year, tragedy struck a Bismarck apartment building

A few pets lost their lives, and families lost everything in this fire that began just after 5 pm last Tuesday. We all felt anguish and pain for those involved. Some of us have experienced our own loss and know the feeling of waking up one morning and everything you had is gone. One such woman is Connie Lundin.

From a hurricane, to a fire, to an ice jam flood, Connie has lost everything many times

In her lifetime, Connie Lundin has lost everything. From a hurricane in 1969 to a fire in 1992, an ice jam flood in 2009, AND 2011, she has experienced complete loss and devastation.
