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 Mangrum H&S Company 1st Battalion 2nd Marines 2nd Marine Division PSC Box 20094 Camp Lejeune, NC 28542 Thank you in advance for all of your generosity and support.
