Help Your Neighbors in Lawrence

Early Monday morning, at the corner of Market Street and Parker, an enormous fire took hold of 14 buildings in the south of Lawrence. One policeman described the scene as a "horror movie." The damage done has been estimated at $4 million, the fire completely destroying or damaging businesses and residences. Sadly, many who lived in these dwellings are now homeless and have little to live on.

If you are able, please help. There are three main ways:

• Pray.
  
• The Eagle-Tribune Newspaper has partnered with the Red Cross and are accepting donations that will go directly to the aid of those in need. Find the info here.
• Habitat for Humanity has stepped up as well and are looking to help rebuild the devastated area as soon as possible. To donate your time and/or money, go here.
