Jackowski Family Recovery Fund
Feb 12, 2007

I have terrible news. My extended family suffered a terrible tragedy when their home caught fire on Monday, February 5th, 2007 at 1:00am.

Mary, a senior citizen, suffered second degree burns to her face and hands.

Jimmy, her son suffered minor injuries and was released from the hospital on the same day.


The house was not covered by homeowners insurance and neither mother nor son have any type of medical coverage. Due to the fire, Mary is unable to work right now due to her injuries and Jimmy is currently unemployed as well.


This was their only place of refuge and now they are, quite literally, homeless.

Please, take a moment to click on this link.

You can read the full story in our local paper, see photographs that I took today while helping my family recover personal effects, and find out how you can help.


Anything you can offer would be greatly appreciated.
