Last night the Barba  family awoke to a loud explosion, and the sounds of flames. Their home of 22  years was lost in a horrific fire that started in the carport.They lost everything they own, and nearly escaped the fire that ended up destroying a total of three homes.  Five kids have been affected by this fire, and not only are they traumatized and emotionally exhausted, but they are in need of clothes, school supplies, basic neccessities and a home.  Red Cross has provided a place for them for 2-3 days, but after that they are on their own. Please if you can donate any amount during this time of need, it would help them get back on their feet.
