From our neighbor Orlando... an Air Force family recently lost everything in a house fire (mid-October). This family doesn't reside in Grand Firs but Orlando thought it would be worth passing this along to our community:
As many of you may have already heard, SSgt Jonathan Abel's home on base was destroyed in a fire on Monday evening. SSgt Abel's wife and three sons, ages 7, 4 and 2, were there when the fire broke out but thankfully they made it out safely and no one was injured. While there are a few items from the house that may be salvageable, almost everything they owned is a total loss. The family is currently living in a temporary house on base while they assess what they need to replace.
As an Air Force family of 600+ people, we can step up and demonstrate exactly what it means to take care of one of our own. The family is pretty much in need of everything that it takes to start a household, (i.e. Clothes, pots, pans, plates, toys, linens, etc...) In lieu of specific items an account has been set up at Harborstone Credit Union for anyone that would like to make a monetary donation, allowing the family the opportunity to purchase more specific items that they need.
You can donate through the Harborstone Credit Union on base or in Spanaway and Puyallup but you must have his name (SSgt Jonathan Abel) to make a deposit.
