MacDonald Family House Fire | 11.18.12

Dear Friends,

Our friends, the MacDonald Family have suffered a tremendous loss… their home was lost to a fire which happened around 3AM today.  PRAISE GOD, everyone escaped safely, but only with the pajamas on their backs… literally.  Many of you know them as the Christian singing family who have visited just about every church for miles around here as well as nursing homes, retirement homes, etc.  They love to share the Good News in song, and have given away hundreds of their cds, as well as their time and talents.

Their home was uninsured, and they tremendously need our help.  We are grateful for any contribution you can share to help this precious family.  They purchased a foreclosed house recently just two doors up from the home they lost today but it is in need of major renovation… a new chimney, electrical wiring and furnace, to name a few.  Ron and I spent time with the family this afternoon and have amassed a quick list of clothing needs, and hope to open an account at our local bank tomorrow for donations to help with renovations so they can have a place to call home again.

Please contact us if you can help in any way.  Once the family has time to regroup and plan, we hope to facilitate meeting their needs by donations of monetary and tangible items, and perhaps volunteers who can donate labor.  As we grabbed our coats and shoes to run out the door and help with recovery, my eyes welled up with tears as I recognized my blessings in the shape of coat and shoes…  necessities this family no longer has.

Thank you for your help… PLEASE consider forwarding this to your email list… we have MUCH to be thankful for!

Blessings,

Ron & Terry Mott
