Erich Schumann's (ZID Area 7) house was struck by lightning Monday afternoon. The lightning strike caused a fire. Erich and his family were home at the time. Everyone made it out safely, but the fire has caused heavy damage to the home. I'm told the repairs will take somewhere in the vicinity of 6 months to complete. They are being put up in a local hotel temporarily while more permanent housing can be worked out. They had to beat a hasty exit to escape the fire, leaving with only the clothes on their back. I'm including a list of items needed below. I've always looked at ZID and NATCA-ZID especially as a family. One of our brothers is in need of our assistance...please lend a hand.

I know how hard it is to go shopping for others.  Please donate so I can purchase the needs of this family.
