Many may not know but around 4pm yesterday July 2 my grandparents house burned to the ground within 5 minutes. Luckily no one was hurt, in the house lived my grandparents and my tio (uncle), and who ever needed a place to stay. My grandparents are the hardest working and loving people I know, taking care of 9 kids, and 20+ grandchildren, and being there whenever needed is what makes them so special. My grandpa does have a bad back and can barely walk and in the house we had a scooter, canes, medicine, clothes, everting was in this house. All of their items are destroyed and gone, luckily the red cross is giving them a hotel to stay in but only for three days. Everything of theirs is gone, cars, memories, pictures,

home videos, clothes, beds, chairs, and for some of our family our childhood memories. I’m asking you to help my grandparents in any way possible, and I thank you all for all your love and prayers.
