Sandy Cashion is known in Yacolt for delivering mail for decades, always with a friendly hello
A Yacolt woman can use some help, and a co-worker and friend is hoping the community can lend a hand to a woman who has done so much for the community.
A house fire has destroyed most of Sandy Cashion’s belongings and displaced her, a friend, and some pets. Sadly, four kittens lost their lives in the fire.
Friend Jenn Collins has opened a GoFundMe account in hopes of raising money to help Cashion through this ordeal.
Cashion is a friend to pretty much everyone in Yacolt, after delivering mail in the town for more than 20 years. While she stopped delivering her route a couple of years ago, she remains a vital part of operations, working inside the Yacolt Post Office.
Collins said Cashion was the type of delivery person who would stop to say hello to neighbors every day.
The community has already responded to the news of the fire. Many people have brought food into the post office for Cashion.
Collins is hoping to raise money to help Cashion find temporary housing, the replacement of clothes, food, and other household items.
Collins described Cashion as “small-town famous.”
“They all know her,” Collins said. “They all love her. This is like a ‘Cheers’ town, where everybody knows your name.”
