James Fortune Home Burned Down Fund

Donation protected
My grandfather, James Fortune is 85 yrs old, we call him Papa.  All my life he's lived in the same place, the farm where my mom and her siblings grew up.  Today, between teaching classes I got a call that his house burned down, flat.  He is disabled, can't walk too much and uses a wheelchair to get around.  He was home when lightning stuck the roof and the house caught fire.  Papa dragged himself to the door and by the grace of God, a policeman was passing by and saw the smoke, responded and helped him away fromt he house. Everything is gone.  My grandmother died a 7yrs ago and all the memories from her are gone too.  He is left with nothing.  
My grandfather is an elder in his church. a hard worker all his life and always helping others.  This farm was the family history, going all the way back to his grandparents.  All gone are the clothes he had, his belongings, pictures of my grandmother and his whole life.  While he still has his life, and we are forever greatful for that, he needs some help, anything is appreciated.   Please help if you can, thank you in advance. My mother, James' daughter, Angela Davis will be making sure James gets the money and is taken care of.  Thanks again!
