| Need Prayers We just got a call, my sisters house burned to the ground a couple hrs ago. My 18 yr old niece was home alone. She got up and turned on the heater and went back to bed. The smoke alarms woke her up and her house was on fire. She managed to get out safely and get the dogs out safely. It took the fire dept 30 minutes to get there! From what they said on the phone they've lost EVERYTHING. My niece managed to grab her purse and I think someone ran back in and got her two drawers of clothes. My other niece was at their dads house so she has a bag of clothes, but thats it. They could really use some prayers right now. My neice is sooo upset b/c she is blaming herself. |

| We just got back from their house. Mom is not a good person to relay news in an emergency.. she gets hysterical and doesn't listen to what people are telling her and jumps to the worst possible conclusion. We arrived expecting to find a pile of ashes and rubble but the house is still standing, thank goodness. MOst of their possessions look like they will be able to be saved. I don't think the house will be able to be safely lived in again. The entire underside of the house burnt. Now we're just waiting to see what the insurance company will do. THey've got a hotel room for 6 days, but it doesn't take pets. They may end up coming here. They could still use some prayers. |

| Oh Stormy, I am so sorry for your family. My sister in law's house burned and you would be surprised what the cleaning services can do. Praise the Lord no one was hurt. Prayers coming your way.

| Thanks for the prayers and good thoughts. They ended up talking the hotel into letting the dog stay. My sister is meeting with the insurance ppl tomorrow and will make a decision about what they are doing once the insurance company tells them what kind of settlement it will be. I hope that they just total the house. The time and money involved with trying to repair it is IMO too much. My sister wants them to total the house as well. But the insurance company may have other ideas. THey came over today for lunch and to do some laundry and are in pretty good spirits given the circumstances. |

Luvs Lulu Donating Member | Sending prayers..omg that is just horrible. Thankfully they are only material possessions and they have their lives. God will help them rebuild.
