TUBE NEWS AND COMPASSION

Suppose the family could use your help....

KUAM news had the following story in tonight's news and I quote;"A Yigo family is without a home tonight, after their entire residence was fully engulfed in flames. Guam Fire Department spokesperson Phyllis Blas says the fire was called in shortly before 4pm today. The blaze ignited at a home in the Santa Ana subdivision. Firefighters were able to control the blaze within minutes, and Blas says no one was injured in the fire. Investigators were on the scene trying to determine what caused the blaze.(Story by Mindy Fothergill)"
I suppose if you're compassionate, you could call Bob Lizama, the Yigo mayor and find out how many people lived in that home and what the family needs. I'm sure they could use some clothing, pots and pans and other things that most people have extras around the house...news reports are sad in that there's usually a deeper story waiting to be reported after the sensational part is told. Where is the family spending this night? Who fed them? Will they have enough money to get their children ready for school clothes and supplies? If you care even a little bit, give the commissioner's office a call, I'm sure he'll know where the family is and how you can help them get back on their feet again.
