On June 21st 2007 at 1pm my family woke to a house
fire. We all survived but we lost our 2 cats. The morning of the fire my wife Ellen and her sister Pam called the American
Red Cross in Westfield. The Disaster Assistance Team ( DAT ) came right out to meet us. We were dazed, confused, and needed
help.
Jen Perfect and Eric Vogel were part of the team that came to our aide.
They provided my family with a place to stay for three days and a debit card so we could buy food and clothes. They also gave
us each a plastic bag that was filled with all sorts of toiletries !
This was so wonderful to have someone who we never met before come and
help us in our time of need ! ! !
I decided I wanted to give back to this organization that helped me and
my family. So I contacted Jen Perfect and she told me about the ( DAT ). I asked if I could join. She said yes. So now I am
able to help out families in need just like my family was in need.
