On September 22nd an electrical fire started in the garage of the Poling's house. Flames quickly spread and ignited the back of the house. The fire department responded quickly, but the rapidly moving fire combined with the dry Texas conditions, caused a great deal of damage very quickly. Fortunately, the family was all safe and the fire was eventually contained. Or so they thought. Flames ignited again on the September 23rd essentially wiping out the rest of the house and its contents pretty much in it's entirety. Furniture, appliances, household items, clothing, baby equipment and all of the children's toys and books will need to be replaced which of course comes at significant expense. We have organized this to help ease the Poling's burden as they make plans to rebuild. Thank you for your generosity!
