Okay, I have been contacted by the Lake Local Schools as they had a tragedy at their school. One of the families that attends their school had a house fire yesterday and lost everything. The fire was caused by a space heater. The story is very sad. Grandma and grandpa are raising their 5 grandchildren and they are an older couple. They lost EVERYTHING except what they were wearing yesterday. This story breaks my heart. As the grandparents should be enjoying their retirement they have stepped up to raise their 5 young grandchildren. Their needs are great, but I know we serve a mighty God that ALWAYS provides. I am praying that you all get involved in some way.
I have spoken to both the superintendent as well as the principal and here are the IMMEDIATE needs as of tonight. . Please note more will be added as the needs come in. . Please also note if you are not local that you could send gift cards or care packages or even cards to encourage this family. This is a very difficult time.
