Dear Friends,

On Sunday, December 9 th, one of our Church Families lost their home in a fire. The Fire Marshall has declared the house and contents a total loss. They lived at 417 East East Street, Delmar MD

Eric and Sonja Shires have two children; Alanna (14) and Alex (11). They also have Eric's mother and Grandfather living with them. Eric has his own construction company and Sonja works for the Post Office.

We have gotten them some clothes and food to get through this week. We are strongly recommending VISA gift cards so they may specifically get things they need. Gifts cards to local restaurants would also be nice.

Friday morning December 14th, they found a house and plan on start moving in. It is located at 8533 Shadow Lane, Delmar MD. If you would like to call Sonja directly, her cell is 443-359-0607.

The clothes Sizes are as follows:

Pants Shirt Shoes Coat

Eric 32-30 Medium 8 ½ Large

Sonja 10-12 Medium 6 ½ Large

Alex 10 slim Medium 2 ½ Medium

Alanna 1 petite Medium 7 Medium

Grandfather 28-30 Medium

Grandmother 12-14 Medium


Financial Contributions may be made to:

Delmar Christian Center , 107 East State Street, Delmar, DE 19940

Put Shire Family in the memo portion of the check.

Wednesday night, December 19th, the Shires family will be at Delmar Christian Center from 6 – 7 pm to receive the blessings the community has gathered for them. If you have something, this would be great time to give it to them and to meet the family.

Any questions or coordination issues. Email me at jimbrown1951@gmail.com or call me on my cell at 302-381-5274.

Sincerely;

Jim Brown
Pastor Jim Brown

Joe.. not sure if you know or not. there is a site called freecycle. People post offers and wanted items on there and EVERYTHING is free.. you just have to pick up. Maybe this site could help the family out some.
