Cassy Fiano (a Marine wife, 8 months pregnant with her husband currently deployed in A’stan) sends an appeal for help for another Marine family who’ve run up against some hard times: I'm hoping you'll help me get the word out about this Marine. I know you already know this, but my husband is a Marine and we're stationed at Camp Lejeune. He's currently deployed to Afghanistan and I am 8 months pregnant with our first. I mention this just because I feel like what has happened to this Marine could very well happen to us as well. I would hope that if it did, someone would reach out to help me and my family the way I am reaching out to them. A Lejeune Marine, a Lance Corporal, returned home from Afghanistan on Saturday with 1st Battalion, 2nd Marines. On Monday he cooked breakfast for his wife, and his house burned down. He was able to get is wife and his 20-month-old daughter out of the house safely, but they lost everything. The house burned to the ground and they literally lost everything they owned. I'm trying to get the word out to help raise money and goods for this family. I've posted about this on my blog and at the Green Room, but the more people who know about this family and the help they need, the better. I just would hate to think that a Marine could come home from fighting for his country in Afghanistan to a disaster like this, only to have his country fail to support him when he needed it most. Please help get the word out. It would mean a lot to not only the family, but to me and the Camp Lejeune community in general. Cassy provides the following address to send goods and checks too. If they come up with a PayPal or other site for online donations, I'll update this. 1st Sgt Daniel Mangrum H&S Company 1st Battalion 2nd Marines 2nd Marine Division PSC Box 20094 Camp Lejeune, NC 28542 I’m sure they’ll be most appreciative of anything you can send to help them try to put their life back in the normal column. Thanks in advance to all who can help.
