If you are not already aware of this, sadly, a house on our street went up in flames last Friday night. Above are a few pictures we took from our house. (Most of the damage is actually on the back of the home.)
The owner, Roger, was devastated and lost so many things. Many people have requested that we take up a collection for him. So...
We will be collecting donations for Roger through Sunday, December 13th.
*If you would like to contribute, please bring any donations to me by this Sunday. Please contact me if you have any questions or if you need more time. There will also be a group card at my house that you can sign if you would like to express sympathy for his loss.
*If you would like to donate some items you think he would need that are new, it might be good to attach a gift receipt it case he wishes to return it.
*You may donate things that you already own that you think he could use.
*We will also be collecting money and/or gift cards to be given directly to him. We may put money towards Target or Lowe's gift cards.
*Checks can be made out to me (and the money will be combined with other donations), or you can write a check directly to Roger and it will be delivered along with the rest of the items.
Losing your home is a terrible thing to have happen at any time, but it is especially heartbreaking at Christmastime. Hopefully we can rally together and help bring Roger some unexpected joy this season! Thank you so much!

Here's one of the clips that our security cameras picked up. (It will take a minute to load.) I didn't see this part; it's before the fire engines arrive.
