A Big Day

Yesterday was a pretty rough day for Menash and Nichole. They were able to go to the house and look for some salvageable items before the house was taken down. It sure was a bitter sweet trip. There were a few small items they found that brought them a bit of joy. This was followed by them finding the bodies of Nana and Emma (their cat). Very sad. They gave those precious little animals a proper burial and now can really begin the healing process.

The Petschers are doing well given the circumstances. Their mini van was totaled due to water damage from putting out the fire. Of course the family just rolled with the punch and are still just a positive happy bunch. After a few weeks of the kids being really sick with bronchitis and the flu, and Menash and Nichole's bumps and bruises, they are all on the mend and starting to feel much better. They have a temporary home that they have been able to stay in and have had lots of help from their family, friends, and complete strangers in the area and also from out of state. Thank you to everyone that has been there to physically help out.

They are a strong family and it's inspiring to hear them having such a positive attitude even knowing the challenges that still face them. Menash, Nichole, Madelyn, Lucy, and Nora want to pass along their thanks and gratitude again to anyone who has been praying for them, thinking about them, and those who have donated.

Lets all keep those prayers up for more physical and mental healing. They do make a difference and I know they are feeling the outpouring of love and support from you all. Thanks to you all again for everything.

Love,
The Petschers
