Homeless, Helpless and Hopeful but always Humble

With Christmas barely gone, a fire devastated their world! Kieron & Melrin, a senior couple battling health issues, lost everything they owned. The Grinch snuck in and stole any resemblance of Christmas cheer that they had left. Their story… Melrin who recently had a stroke and a heart attack has been in a nursing home for rehab after spending several weeks in the hospital. She was due to be released a week before Christmas, Kieron, or Kip, as he is fondly known as, was ecstatic that his wife would be home for Christmas, considering all she has been through. Melrin, has been wheel chair bound for the past 3 years, because of a leg amputation, due to complications of diabetes, prior strokes and several heart attacks.
Unfortunately, or maybe we should say Fortunately, she was not able to make it home in time for Christmas. Although her loving husband would not let that deter him, and made preparations for her return on a daily basis, despite his own health issues and disabilities.
You see, it was only the two of them, besides their two Chihuahua’s, (who they looked at and treated as their children), Lilly & Sheba, and Lilly’s 3 newborn puppies, Red Nose, Snow White & Pee Wee, all five of whom perished in the fire.
So not only did they lose their home and all of their worldly belongings, they lost their beloved pets as well. Melrin still hasn’t been told of the loss of her home, let alone the loss of her pets, due to Dr’s orders, fearing a setback in her progress.
Living on a fixed income did not afford for homeowners insurance, so there is no buffer for this travesty that has devastated their lives, and although the Grinch Stole Their Christmas cheer, God will not allow him to destroy their New Year!
Please help them, restart, re-build, & re-affirm their belief in God’s goodness, and mankind.
Homeless, Helpless, but yet Hopeful, and always Humble!
