I am senior class sponsor. Last night was graduation. There was one student in particular who really struggled to finish high school. Well he made it and last night was grauation however while we were at graduation his house burned to the ground! Nothing was saved. This kid and his family can't seem to catch a break so please pray
That's so awful...I knew a boy like that in school--nothing ever came easy to that family. I'm so sorry for them, Julie--is the community organizing anything to aid them or are their organizations locally to assist them?
What terrible luck. I can only hope that this will be the turning point and things will get better from here.
I hope too that they are getting lots of support from the community, I know that can make all the difference. I know a couple of people who've lost their homes, or suffered other traumas, and when they look back at it what they remember is how people rallied around them to help them get through it. It's so comforting to know you're not all on your own in your troubles.
An Angel says, 'Never borrow from the future. If you worry about what may happen tomorrow and it doesn't happen, you have worried in vain. Even if it does happen, you have to worry twice.'
Sad for my student
