HELPING A FAMILY IN NEED

Dear Joe,



We were saddened by the news this morning of the family on Hazel Ave who lost everything to a house fire. The family renting the house is a family of four, a husband , wife, and two small children ages 4 and 1 ½. We have found that they escaped with only minor injuries however they lost everything they owned even their car to the fire. Our office is taking a collection up for them of items that they might need. We are going to store all items here in one of our storage cubes until they have a place to stay. Could you please put out their story and let anyone who can help know that they can drop all donations off to Cubes Storage To Go 102 Broadway St, Fruitland MD.



They will need clothes, toys for the children, and household items. The sizes for the family are as follows: The father wears a size LG shirt, 36 pants, 10 shoe. The mother wears size 1x clothes, 8 ½ - 9 shoe. The 4 year old girl wears size 5T clothes, and size 1 shoe. The youngest daughter wears size 2T clothes. Size 6t shoe, and size 5 diapers. It is hard enough for a family to make it week to week I could not imagine having to replace everything you own and pay bills as well. Lets open up our hearts for this family.

Where can we send in a monitary donation for the family?

Maybe a local bank could open an account for them. Gift cards are also a good alternative, especially the credit card ones. They will need everything from the smallest item like a toothbrush to furniture and larger items. At a time like this ot is the kindness and support of the community that will lift them up and get them through.
