House Fire Relief for Family of 6

On May 14, 2016 at 7:40pm, my incredible best friend, Laura, called me. I knew something had to be wrong, because it was 10:40 her time. Sure enough, I was right.

She and her boyfriend, Oliver, were rushing back home from their long awaited family camping trip because they had been informed that their house was completely engulfed in flames. Everything they owned (including their precious cats) was gone. And though she and Oliver are very aware that what they have lost is just "stuff", this comes as a tragic, painful loss.

Friends, this family of six needs your help. Laura and Oliver have Oliver's three children and his children's mother, Beth, in their care. Thankfully, they are all safe but they will need a great many things to replace what has been lost.

The money raised will be used for helping this famiy get back on their feet. They wil need a new place to live, not to mention the basic necessities to survive. Their beautiful children will need clothes and school supplies... but those are just at the top of the list.

 Any amount you, your friends, or your church could spare would be greatly appreciated. Please pray for this family and share this page as often as you can.

If you wouid rather send personal donations (clothes, shoes, gift cards to grocery stores or places like Target, etc.), those are welcome! 

The children have been graciously provided with all the clothes that they need. Praise God! But the adults in this family could still use some major help.

The adult's names and sizes are:

Laura Fay
Size: 3X (pants), 18/20 or XL (shirt)
Shoe size: Women's 9 or 10

Oliver Blackstock III
Size: 38 (pants), XL (shirt)
Shoe Size: 13 or 13W 

Beth Kivowitz

Please send all physical items to:

Blackstock Family Relief Fund

Many, many blessings to you, as you give!
