Help for family after deadly house fire
Today's recipient of a $100 bill through the Believe Project is Laurel Dubowski of Carol Stream. She intends to give the money to a family who suffered unimaginable losses in a recent fire.
Here is an excerpt of her story:
"Her house was destroyed by a fire a couple days ago. Her husband, son and her parents who live with her escaped. She was rescued and taken to the hospital in critical condition. But her two daughters, ages 5 and 8, died in the fire.
"This tragedy is unthinkable. We lost one daughter to a school shooting and cannot imagine losing two daughters like this. Our heart goes out to her whole family."
