But when the Marshall Fire tore through Boulder County, it destroyed the homes of three members of the troop.Ackerman, who has a fourth-grader in the troop, also lost her home. The group of girls was going to meet only days after the Marshall Fire. With the help of Girl Scouts of Colorado and donations from other troops, the meeting happened as scheduled.
Then came the decision of whether or not to sell cookies during cookie season in February. The troop’s cookie advertising signs, documents, and more were all lost in the fire. Several girls who would normally sell door to door in their neighborhoods didn’t have neighborhoods anymore.“All the girls still wanted to sell cookies,” said troop co-leader Carie Whalen. “Even if it was a smaller goal — a little less — they all said they wanted to do it.
“Denver7 would like to make an order of cookies,” Denver7 anchor Jason Gruenauer said to the girls and the troop leaders, gathered around the cookie-filled table. “We would like to order $5,000 worth of cookies.”Click here to go directly to the Denver7 Gives donation form then choose a campaign “I’m just blown away. There was no way we were going to make our goal this year and you guys just made our goal for us,” Whalen said.
“It just lets you see the good in humanity and people, and this is just another example,” Whalen said.“If we think about, emotionally, where they’ve been since Dec. 30, this is the happiest we’ve seen them,” Ackerman said.“This isn’t a dream. This is a miracle. So, thank you very much,” she said.
