Christmas Day House Fire

Today on Christmas Day our brother and his family lost everything in a house fire.  Thank God everyone is OK, they were on the way to a family gathering when it started.  They have a 14 year old girl and (2) 17 year old boys and Mike ran his plumbing business from home as well.  It's all gone, and we are hoping to get some help for them to secure the things they will need while they don't have a home.  They will need everything from basics like shampoo and toothbrushes, to the lost Christmas gifts they just exchanged last night and this morning.  Clothing, everything.

They have insurance but it could be months before that process is started and it will be an incredible task to do this on their own.  If you can help at all, even a dollar, and help us show them that it's Christmas and the community loves them and that God will help see them through this time I would be forever grateful to each of you.

My goal is 5000, but having lost everything once myself I know that is not nearly enough even with insurance, to replace a lifetime of items.

Thank you -
