There was a house FIRE tonight In Morley at 318 Bronaugh Where, Beulah Dunnivan, her niece Nadine and THREE BOYS: Ethan 15, Lukas 11, AJ 10 lived. The house was struck by lightning and burned (pictures attached) I went down to see the family where all of them were safe and sound a few blocks away at Beulah's mom and Dad home. Bud and Vicki Brown have been housing the family for a few days since the family's utilities were turned off last week. The Family had no insurance on the house. Beulah said "we couldn't afford it". Her husband Anthony is in jail awaiting release soon (they are all hoping).
Their home church, FATHER'S ARMS FELLOWSHIP in Scott City, will be receiving donations into their benevolence fund and seeking help from Habitat for Humanity to see if it is possible to rebuild on what is left of the home. We all prayed together tonight with other relatives gathered in the garage at Bea's parent's home (Bud and Vicki Brown at 647 Flad in Morley).... We prayed that God would take this mess and make something good out of it... Bea has had such a hard time making ends meet since her husband has been away. With the meager check she receives from disability on one of her children who has special needs and a small bit of child support it's just hard to make things work but I sure see her trying so hard..... And she has those kids in church every week.
Donations to help this family can be sent to Father's Arms Fellowship PO Box 4297, Scott City, MO 63780 Attn: dunivan fire fund
Pay pal donations can be made to: fathersarmsfellowship@charter.net
