House Fires Loss -- Shelton Family

Yesterday Robert and his family were not home at the time when their apartment building caught fire so thankfully nobody was hurt.  But they lost everything.  They were allowed to grab only a couple trash bags of clothes before the landlord boarded up their unit.  Everything they owned was in that apartment.  They now have no home and no money to start over.  One thing that is certain is that it will be a long time before they have a place to live.  What's worse is they had no renters insurance because they were already living on a shoe string budget before the fire and they just didn't have the money to afford insurance.  They are also financially bound to the remaining term of their lease contract and have no means to get out of it.   We would like to raise enough money to buy them out of their current lease so that they may afford to go find a new place for their family to live.  The Red Cross gave them $500 but I think this we can help even more. 
This family is good, really good people.  If you know them you know they are good, honest, kind, law biding, and a serving Christian family.  I could go on for a long time about how deserving of our help this family really is.  But the point is that we all know that life can be hard.  But for those who are truly less fortunate and their whole lives have been barely getting by, a tragedy like this is devastating. 

Please help us help Robert and his family get back on their feet.  

Thank you

Donna Matthews (Robert's sister)
