It was on Friday the 13th 1983 when my family's house caught on fire...My dad rushed to get everyone out and he managed to put out the flames with a water hose, So he thought...Just as we all got back into the house, back into our beds....The flames broke out again and this time it took the fire dept to put it out...They named it the worst house fire in 1983. Everything was a total loss. So this morning when I got up, I always read the paper online and I saw a family of 10 including 5 children had lost there entire house to a fire....It happened at 1:40 in the morning and luckily all the family got out in time....The children ranged in age from 4 weeks-age 10.The lady made a comment" We lost everything, we don't even have shoes...But importantly enough we don't have diapers, bottles, or anything at all for our kids"
So I knew I had to step in and help...I was able to gather about 7 garbage bags FULL of stuff for the 4 week old, the 1 & 3 year old, and some stuff for the 7 & 10 year old... I'm even donating a pack and play for the infant to sleep in.
It's so awesome to help another family and I feel so proud to make these kids smile again!
This is the actually house of the family of 10
Legacy of an Adopted Child
Once there were two women who never knew each other, One you do not remember, the other you call Mother,Two different lives shaped to make you one,One became your guiding star, the other became your sun,The first one gave you life, and the second taught you to live it,The first gave you a need for love, the second was there to give it,One gave you a nationality, the other gave you a name,One gave you a talent, the other gave you aim,One gave you emotions, the other calmed your fears,One saw your first sweet smile, the other dried your tears,One made an adoption plan, that was all that she could do,The other prayed for a child, and God led her straight to you. Now, which of these two women, Are you the product of?Both, my darling, Both, Just two different types of love.---- Unknown
