I recently became aware of one of our Gold Star Families (members here on Marine Family Network) who have suffered another tragedy in their lives. Their home and almost all of their belongings were destroyed by a fire last week in Montana. Bill & Rebekah Uzenski, along with their five children, were able to escape the home without injury, but they did lose almost everything that night.
Here's one of the many news article about the family. The article does mention a website that has been set up to help provide items that the family does need to get started over again.

The community is rallying around a Bozeman family that lost almost everything in a fire that ripped through their rental home on Wednesday.
Tragedy has struck the Uzenski family twice in the last couple years. In January 2010 their oldest son, Nicholas, was killed in Afghanistan. Then, on Wednesday, a fire claimed their home and most of their belongings.
