On the morning of Saturday, July 5th, our brother, Victor and his wife Svetlana Matlashevsky, received a phone call from the sheriff's department with news of a house fire. They were away from town on a cabin retreat for the weekend. Their retreat was cut short with the realization of a total loss of everything they owned. There was nothing to salvage from the destruction. Our brother and his wife, along with their four daughters suddenly found themselves homeless.

They have a long road to recovery and some things will never be recovered. Thankfully, no one was hurt. We ask for any small thing you can help with, the family is in need of everything including a work vehicle that burned next to the house. God bless everyone.
