When the page circulated on the internet, many people stepped forward and expressed their concern for Devine asking for donations to save her home after being charged with stealing nearly $30,000 from the volunteer fire comany.

She did not claim guilt or innocence, but she did state that others with the fire department had also done wrong as well, and it would be coming out soon.
