This is what happened to my student's aunt. They lived in a single wide mobile home. They took off the back door and built an addition.I seriously don't believe he had a builder's permit because he did not add a door. They feared people may break in so every window was screwed down tight. Well....they had a faulty window air conditioner and the home caught fire. Both smoke alarms went off and the grill just outside the only door exploded . The neighbors were trying their best to bust through the bay window.Nothing could break it.It's like plastic. They watched in horror as both parents and a 2 year old burned alive. They had no insurance and my student's mom is stuck with the bill. I'm going to see the school counselor and principal tomorrow to see how I can geta collection going . She told me she has no more faith in God.{She pick up her son from my class daily} I sat in silence and let her pour he rheart out. She did say...as he rfamily released the helium ballons when they got near the clouds the ballons literally formed a cross. I'm telling you folks because this family needs prayer. I can't list first and last names of students on here.. so just remember
Ryan's family
Thanks I know you will

A few of you folks have asked about helping. I only posted this because I know you will pray. Our school will be able to handle the financial end of it. This lady has no church and as far as I know she goes to no church. I've talked to her everyday when she picks up Ryan at 2:45 . Just simply pray as the Lord leads you. Pray tha tGod will give me the right words , that somethign wonderful can come out of this , for comfort and healing of the emotions . And for salvation. Herson is an angel. He has severe ADD problems as far as attending to the task at hand but his behavior is wonderful.He doesn't say a word all day. The sad part is..he thinks his aunt is on vacation. He is not comprehending what death means. Prayer is a lot. You and I may be the only ones praying for this family.
God bless,
Chuck7

C7 my heart broke as I read what happened, I can not imagine...... they will be in my prayers.

Chuck7 · 03-03-2006, 04:32 AM

Yeah...I was speechless as I listened to her. I hope everyone here has a fire escape plan. It makes ya think.
Thanks Taz...I'll be in prayer as well. I have over 100 different colored wrist bands to choose from daily. I wear one or 2 daily to help remind me to pray.They are called Girly Bracelets and can be bought at Walmart for 3.79. Todays color will obviously be red. However ; seeing Ryan in the classroom will prompt a prayer quite often. He entered a writing contest last month explaining whohis favorite teacher is and why. I was the lucky one he wrote about. That family has a special place in my heart.
