Fireworks Fire Detroys a Family Home

At about 1:00am on July 5th, my 3rd grade student became a hero by waking up her family when she saw flames in their apartment.  Terrified, her parents gathered their children ages 8 and 11, and ran for safety. The fire is believed to have started as a result of someone improperly cleaning up the remains of the neighborhood fireworks and placing them in a sealed garbage bag outside next to the building. Fortunately, the Aragons were able to escape without injury - however, their belongings and cash savings were completely destroyed.   

Unfortunately, the Aragon family did not have renters insurance and will need money to help them find a new place to live as well as basic necessities such as clothing and furniture.  

We are initially asking for donations to reach an amount of $5,000 which will help with the costs of rent and rental deposits, along with basic necessities to get back on their feet. 

 The Aragon family are hardworking, loving, and very new to the area with limited friends and family nearby to support.  The other teachers and counselors will be wrapping our arms around them as much as possible as they navigate this traumatic event.  All donations (whatever you are able to contribute) are welcome and incredibly appreciated.

Aproximadamente a la 1:00 am del 5 de julio, mi estudiante de tercer grado se convirtió en una heroína al despertar a su familia cuando vio llamas en su departamento.  Aterrorizados, reunieron a sus hijos de 8 y 11 años y corrieron por seguridad. Se cree que el incendio comenzó como resultado de que alguien limpió de manera inadecuada los restos de los fuegos artificiales del vecindario y los colocó en una bolsa de basura sellada al lado del edificio.Afortunadamente, pudieron escapar sin lesiones, sin embargo, sus pertenencias y ahorros en efectivo fueron completamente destruidos.

Desafortunadamente, la familia de Aragón no tenía seguro para inquilinos y necesitará dinero para ayudarlos a encontrar un nuevo lugar para vivir, así como necesidades básicas como ropa y muebles.

Inicialmente estamos pidiendo donaciones para alcanzar un monto de $ 5,000 que ayudará con los costos del alquiler y los depósitos de alquiler, junto con las necesidades básicas para recuperarse.

La familia de Aragón es trabajadora, cariñosa y muy nueva en el área con amigos y familiares limitados cerca para apoyar. Los otros maestros y consejeros estarán rodeándolos con los brazos tanto como sea posible mientras navegan en este evento traumático. Todas las donaciones (lo que sea que pueda contribuir) son bienvenidas e increíblemente apreciadas.
