Brothers I received this in an email this morning.
Smithfield Lodge #455 in N. Richland Hills was recently made aware of a 13 year old boy and his 10 year old sister whose parents have both passed away. One of cancer the other a few moths later of a massive heart attack. They've been living with their 89 year old grandmother, but their legal caretaker was an aunt living near Austin. A couple of months ago the aunt also passed away from cancer! So now they only have the grandmother to depend on, and naturally she's on social Security. When the lodge was aware of these kids, we immediately stepped and started helping where we could, we were able to get a little cash to help them out with groceries and getting the boy some glasses (he has a lazy eye). We of course have filled out the paperwork for the Masonic Children and Family Services to help, but they will limited with what they can provide. These kids are need of dental checkups and school clothes. They haven't had clothes since last school year and you know how kids grow. If anyone could help out with donations or gift cards to places like Walmart or Target, please send them to Smithfield Lodge P.O. Box 821413 N. Richland Hills, TX 76182 or contact our secretary, Billy Campbell at 817-656-2311 or myself, Rick Montey at 817-988-7021.
Thank you brethren,
