It seems that not a day past when you hear of a fire, but when it affects you, it is truly a life-changing experience. To lose all you have is something no one plans to happen in their lives.
In a recent fire that occurred in Trenton NJ that affected 18 people is trying to cope with this sudden tragedy that is no fault of their own. The fire is still under investigation.
I’ve been trying to gather a few things to donate and will be making another trip over their soon. The weather conditions have been difficult to travel in but the last 2 days have been a break from the deep freeze.
Thank goodness to the Fire Department, Red Cross, community and Social Service departments and other agencies that are there to give support. The fire department really had some challenging conditions from which to save lives and put out the fire. We are all grateful for the work they do every day to be ready to do their jobs.
When speaking to Ruth Carter, Director of Social Work Service, I asked what is really needed for the immediate need. She said gift cards where they can purchase food and personal items they need. Clothing and personal items is always welcome.
