**** update due to new and disheartening information --- I will not go into detail about their marriage but I'll say this it has been a struggle for Lena and Kevin both Kevin suffers from depression and has battled addition off and on throughout his life -- It is not confirmed nor has there been an arrest but the fire is being investigated as arson-- Sadly the evening before the fire there was a disagreement and due to Kevin's depression things were said and threats made that caused her to feel unsafe, fearing the worst she fled on foot and barefoot even to a neighboring home where she was safe-- Fast forward and after all this with the fire and the car accident. Lenas church took up a small collection for her-she deposited it into the bank onky to discover the next day Kevin had emptied it out while she was in the hospital visiting one of her daughter's who has recently been admitted. Their testimony continues to grow and all I know to do is pray- For protection for Lena For a release of the bondage that is addiction for my uncle For renewed hearts and more .... Let me Begin by telling you how much I greatly appreciate you at least looking at our fundraiser. My aunt Lena and Uncle Kevin lost their home, all their belongings photos, possessions that belong to their children and more. Just after Christmas. They even lost their cat, which is a very special cat you see my mother passed away in May and I gave my Uncle Kevin her cat because they were so close and I knew that the cat could give him some comfort because he was very torn up about losing her. We all were, they had a very special bond. A message from Lena - "We lived there for 2 years and had stuff belonging to both our daughters in our spare bedroom and lost all our grandbabies stuff we had at our house. Our precious cat Marshall perished in this horrible fire. " Our family has been hit with one tragedy after another We lost my brother Lena lost her sister Other family members have passed or been ill My mother and more. And now Marshall the cat.... When I asked my Aunt if I could start a gofund me for her she replied "no no you don't have to do that God will provide." But you see I live over 2 hours away and feel so helpless I had to push her a bit. I then asked if she would be ok if I did it anyways, I need to help in some way, and with 5 kids and the distance I'm just not able to be there physically to support my family as I would like to. So I'm reaching out The red cross gave them a few hundred dollars but that, though is greatly appreciated doesn't go far when you have nothing. And unfortunately they didn't have insurance. Would you pray about helping me help my family start the new year out a little better than the last ended. To top it all off .... Just a few days After the fire with all the snow and ice we've had my Aunt Lena got into a car accident (she is ok praise God ) and totaled her only means of transportation left as the second vehicle was destroyed in the fire. It's been a tough road.... thanks for your time and prayers. If you want to mail funds directly please let me know and I can get the information for you - To God Be the Glory! Sincerely, The Houseman Family
