Around 5:00pm Monday evening, April 24th, the Briscoe's family's San Jose, Ca. Home caught fire.  Jennifer had plans to leave the house but the fire alarm started blasting.  She found the children's bathroom on fire!  With smoke so thick that she couldn't see, she began throwing water on the floor as there were flames all over the floor.  Once that was out she felt the immense heat above and saw the ceiling on fire.  She ran outside and got the garden hose to put out the rest of the fire on the ceiling.  After she thought it was out, she called 911 because the ceiling was still very hot.  After the firemen got there they began ripping the ceiling down spraying water everywhere continuing to rip ceilings out all over the house.  The fire had spread all over the rafters inside the ceiling.  Shyanne and Dylan's room were heavily damaged as were the bathrooms..   The rest of the house was also heavily damaged due to smoke, ash, and water.  Everyone was able to get out of the house safely to which we are so thankful to God for allowing them to be safe.  

God allowed Jennifer to safely get the majority of the large flames out before anyone was hurt.  He gave her the strength to have a way out of the darkness.  How we praise God for His goodness!  He's always there for us in times of need.  And we are also so thankful for the wonderful fire department for their tireless support they offer!

The family has been displaced out of their home and Dylan lost everything he owned as his room received the most damage.  He was left with nothing.  So very hard for the children to cope with.  The youngest is Mary Ann Mae, 2 yrs old, Dylan, 15 yrs old in a few days, and Shyanne, 16 yrs old.

We we would like to ask you to please open your hearts in aiding this family with any amount of donation you can provide at this time.  They have immediate needs as well as future needs as they recover from this disaster.  Their needs are great.  Our love and our prayers are with the Briscoe family at this time.  Anything you can give will help.  They just need a little bit of help to get them back on their feet.

Thank you for loving this family back to life!
