Heads up, folks. Some neighbors need our support.

I received this in my inbox this morning from Rob Robinson, President of the Sylvan Park Neighborhood Association:

As many of you are aware, a fire in Sylvan Heights claimed the lives of three adults and two children earlier this month. WSMV-TV covered this tragic development this past week. The surviving family members, which include two children, are having a very hard time and could use any help that neighbors are willing to provide. Most of the family’s personal property was destroyed in the fire.

The Sylvan Heights Neighborhood Association is organizing a collection for the family, and Joy Dexheimer with SHNA is leading this effort. Here are items the family can use:

* Gift cards for local grocery stores or fast food restaurants
* Pillows, sheets, covers, books, toys.
* Clothes, shoes and school supplies for the children, a 7 year-old girl and a 3 year-old boy.

If you would like to help in any way, please contact Joy at joyccollins@yahoo.com or (615) 481-1472.
