Letter to the editor: Supporting those touched by tragedy in Jeannette
On March 20, tragedy struck on Guy Street in Jeannette. Five lives were lost and two homes were destroyed. An adult and two children were saved by a heroic neighbor and first responders. The first responders tried fiercely to enter the burning home, but the fire and smoke were too intense.
I want to thank all of the first responders, neighbors, 911 dispatchers, people who are raising money and providing aid — donations, food, prayers — to the victims’ families, and the many churches who opened their doors and offered spiritual guidance after this horrific tragedy.
I ask for prayers for the family who lost beloved family members as well as their home; the neighboring family who also lost their home due to the fire; first responders and their families; and all those who have donated in any way.
May God bless all of you. Our city always comes together in the time of need. I am so thankful that I can call Jeannette my home.
