Family With Autistic Child Lose Everything
Fire Displaces Family 

On my way home from the store from getting the final things needed for Thanksgiving on Wednesday, November 23rd, I received a hysterical phone call from my daughter that their home was destroyed by fire.  The whole family lost everything.  They have no where to live or cloths and my grandson has no toys.  My grandson is a four year old with autism and ADHD.  He cannot understand why he cannot go home and play with his toys.  He doesn't like the hotel the Red Cross has placed them in because he misses his toys and house.  The hotel is paid for by Red Cross up till Sunday but then they have no idea where they will go after that.  The family consists of my daughter, Kayla Bannon and her sister and brother-in-law, Ashley and Andre Untiveros.  They have two dogs named Luna and Bear and two cats named Bella and Salem.  Bella is in need of veterinary care due to the fire.  They have found a home close to the special needs school my grandson attends but need first, last and security to move in.  They have no furniture, cloths, or anything.  We want to get my grandson settled as soon as possible because if you know anything about autism, they become very aggatated when things change drastically and are not structured.  This boy needs a home, cloths, toys, furniture and he has nothing.  The whole familly has nothing and I am not in the position to help them as much as they need at this time.  We were very thankful on Thanksgiving that everyone is safe but now I need your help to help them.  I love my grandson with all my heart and really want to see the whole family have a place to live as soon as possible.  It was not a great way to start the holidays but with your help maybe we can make sure they have a place to live as soon as possible and a chance to have a Christmas this year.  I have never done this before and just pray that others can help my family in their time of need.  It would be a holiday miracle if my Grandson and the rest of this family could have a place to call home as soon as possible!  Thank you for any help you can give.
