Red Cross comes to aid of local woman
Fire victim benefits from charity
102612 RED CROSS 01
After losing her home to a fire, Lillian Brack has gotten back on her feet with the help of the Red Cross. Brack says her experience has made her want to become a volunteer once her home is rebuilt.
On an August Sunday, Lillian Brack’s life changed in a flash — a flash of flame and smoke that poured from her Whitesville home.“I was at work and got a call that my house was on fire,” she remembers. “I just couldn’t believe it. I left right then and there, and it was just me and God all the way back to the house.”Brack soon learned that her family, her husband, son and grandson, were spared from danger, answering a prayer she asked several times on the drive back, but found her home completely in ruin.“I really couldn’t believe it until I saw it for myself,” she said.
