An early morning fire Thursday left five residents at 707 Blinn Avenue looking for clothing and a place to stay. The fire department has determined the current home is uninhabitable.
Shentel Clark and Matthew Wilden and the three children hope to locate to a three bedroom, one or two bath residence. Both parents are employed but unable to find a place to stay at the time of publication. According to Wilden, the cause of the blaze in undetermined.
Children are in need of clothing:
10 year old boy: size 14-16
8 year old girl: Jr. size medium/large or XL girl size
4 year old boy: size 5 pants, size 5-6 shirts
Wilden said, “I just ask that if anybody can help, please help get stuff for the kids, cause they’re the ones that suffered the most in the situation. I thank all that are willing to support and help.”
