whocares Posted February 19, 2011 at 06:18 AM Report Share Posted February 19, 2011 at 06:18 AM This weekend, a Marine with 1st Battalion, 2nd Marines returned home to Camp Lejeune from Afghanistan. Two days later, on Valentine?s Day, his house burned down. He was able to get himself, his wife, and his 20-month-old daughter out of the home safely. That?s the good news. The bad news is that the house burned to the ground, and the family lost everything.I just can?t imagine what they must be going through right now. My husband is due back from Afghanistan relatively soon. To lose our home and everything we owned immediately afterwards would be devastating. I don?t know where this family is staying, but they are in desperate need of any and all household items. Furniture, appliances, clothes, everything they owned is gone. If any of you can find the generosity to donate any household goods or money to this family, it would be so appreciated. I just would hate to think that a Marine could come home from fighting for his country in Afghanistan to a disaster like this, only to have his country fail to support him when he needed it most. Please help get the word out. It would mean a lot to not only the family, but to me and the Camp Lejeune community in general.You can mail checks and/or goods to the following address. If you have any questions, or if you are local and would like to know where to drop off goods, feel free to e-mail cassy@cassyfiano.com.1st Sgt Daniel MangrumH&S Company1st Battalion 2nd Marines2nd Marine DivisionPSC Box 20094Camp Lejeune, NC 28542Thank you in advance for all of your generosity and support.For more info go to http://www.cassyfiano.com/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dman248 Posted February 19, 2011 at 04:17 PM Report Share Posted February 19, 2011 at 04:17 PM UPDATE: Well, that was fast! Last night, I found out that apparently they are buried in donations right now, which is fantastic news. They have been overwhelmed with cash, clothes, furniture, appliances, supplies, everything ? so they don?t needanything more at this point.Thank you so much for your help and generosity!http://www.cassyfiano.com/2011/02/marine-returns-from-afghanistan-two-days-later-his-house-burns-down Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
