Remember the story of the kid, Alex, who lost his father in the train crash? Their house caught on fire this morning. They all got out and, although they had some smoke inhalation, they will be fine. The garage and all that was in it, is totaled, but the rest of the house survived with smoke damage. They can't get back in for a while, so they are going to be living at another Band family's house.
I am trying to coordinate how people can help. Some are making meals, some are donating gift cards to clothing stores. I am putting together a toiletries package.
One thing I am certain of: We don't have a band aid big enough for the real damage.

Was the pun intended? "band aid"? As tough as it is for this family, it would be much more difficult without the support of their community. This is such a great example of the importance of the extra-curricular activities in a school which help develop strong bonds among students and the families that support them. It is nice to read about.
