According to news reports, 10-year-old Liam Greenstreet awoke to the smell of smoke and then woke up his mother and another person. Although they got out safe after seeing flames coming from the kitchen, a dog and two cats died – two other cats are missing.
The family didn’t have renters’ insurance – the Red Cross is providing a hotel room for several days to the family.
Moore says he believes it important to help the family, even if they don’t attend a church. “I don’t care if they’re Covenant, Catholic or Hindu.” The Covenant church will gather food, miscellaneous items and put together a Christmas basket for the family, Moore says. The church will provide presents for Liam and Westwood Community School, where Liam is a fifth grader, also is collecting donations.
For more information on the situation or to learn how one can help, call Moore at 712-428-3793.
