Help Middletown Fire VictimsYou remember the fire from a few weeks ago? The one on Knoll Side? What seemed to be only a roof, turned out to be the whole house. The fire started in the back on the deck (they suspect the ceiling fan.) Since, it started there, it tore open the whole backside of the house (not visible from the street) That left everything ruined.

This family (Peter and Maria, the parents, Jasmine - 12 yrs old, Danny - 8 yrs old, Patrick - 3, Michael - 2 and new born Peter - 5 months old) lost everything; clothing, shoes, toys, pictures, etc… Fortunately it was only material and not any of the family members or pets. But they really need this communities help. I have seen what this county has done in the time of need for others and it’s simply amazing. Donations are being accepted in ANY form. You can send your donations or drop them off with their neighbor; Debbie Reichelt, 9 Knoll Side Drive, Middletown, MD 21769. She said right now, gift cards for Wal-Mart & Target are the best since those stores have everything including clothes, shoes, linens, school stuff, etc. Of course, anything is appreciated and wonderful.

I listed the age of the children for you. Please donate age appropriate toys and school items. The family is staying in a hotel out of town right now close to the father’s work and family. They will be looking to rent in the area so their children can continue to go to Middletown schools this year. Their house is due to be torn down within the next few weeks.

They are every grateful for the outpouring of support they have received thus far…and certainly appreciate your continued support.

I want to thank Desiri Earle for providing the information and definitely Debbie Reichelt for accepting the donations. Please do what you can.

    [...] Your dated cabinets don’t compare to the newly updated kitchen that your neighbor has.  I know that bright blue and yellow paint in the game room matches your alma mater, but the buyers are not impressed since they went to Penn State.   You love your family and it shows and shows and shows…with all of your personal stuff displaying all through the house, it is hard for the buyers to see their family in this house.  Your rooms look small with all that furniture in there….It’s time to declutter the house.  Have a yard sale before you put it on the market.  Give it away to Goodwill or other charities.   (People are experiencing hardship all the time) [...]
