On the afternoon of May 31st, 2016 Blake, Samantha, and the girls left their home for a normal day of school and work... They never imagined that they'd return home to the devastation of their home in ashes.

Although many of the memories and material things lost in the fire are irreplaceable, this fund has been created in hopes of helping this sweet family to get back on their feet. Our hope is, that through your kind donations, we can replace some of the items they've lost.

Also, if you know anyone in the Houma, Louisiana area, we'd like to announce that there will also be a Benefit Lunch of fried fish, jambalaya, white beans, bread, and dessert at the end of the month. Funds raised will also assist in the aid to recovery of this total loss house fire. The benefit will be held on July 31st, 2016 at Jack/Johnny's on 1402 Barrow Street in Houma. Tickets are $10 per plate and pick up is between 11:00am-1:00pm. 

Blake is the son of Steve & Terri Monson (of Port Allen/Houma) and Lea Courville (of Port Allen). Samantha is the daughter of Joey & Shannon Schillage and Bryan & Kathy Levatino.

Thank you for taking the time to read this entry and thank you for any prayers and support you can give. Every little bit will help, and we would be sincerely thankful for any donation amount you can spare.
