After the Fire

My name is Tenille Chamberlain, I'm writing this on behalf of my family, Njani (16), Nyala (13),  Nakari (12), and my husband Garth (43). Two days ago we lost our home and everything we had in it, due to a house fire. As a family we've practice to give, share, and donate when we can. Our home over the years, has been referred to as the "Kool Aid House", and my husband and I " The Rescue Rangers". Our home was our shelter and our safe haven, not only for us, but for many people over the years who were in crisis, transitioning, evicted, run aways, vacationers, and even a dance studio, you name it the list goes on. It always just seem like the right thing to do. People need people. But honestly,  It's soo different when your on the other side of the fence .  We've lived in this house for twelve years, a very close loving family, but now we're forced to split up so our family of five is not a burden to any one house hold. However, I know God is in the midst of all this,  keeping us strong and united even though we're now apart. I'm now reaching out to my family, friends, co-workers, and to anyone who feels lead to make a donation to the rebuilding of our home, or possible relocating. Help has been trickling in slowly and we are soo greatful for any funds raised or donated. No amount is too big or too small at this time,  every dollar counts. I know my goal may seem like a challange, but I'm trusting God and stepping out in faith that we can reach our goal of replacing some basic belongings and rebuilding our "community home" for The Chamberlain's and company.
