My opinion.
It looks like what was burned were her family heirlooms and her quilts (according to the article)...I'm betting that with working at the Stitchin Post for 20 years, that the woman has a stash to beat any of ours...
If you want to do something for her, I'd suggest signature blocks of some kind with your name and location on them...sent to someone with better skills than mine to be assembled and quilted. I could deliver the quilt, have my sister (a lurker here!!) in Sisters, and I don't live far from there...or the finished quilt could be sent to Jackie in care of the Stitchin Post...I'm positive that Jean Wells would make sure she got it...
Would just have to decide on block size and pattern...
