I was very much disappointed seeing the family of my brother homeless. Last Wednesday, I planned to go to my brothers house in Pasay City, where I used to eat my snacks till lunch everytime I go to Baclaran and pass by their house. Sitting at the internet delayed me till I decided to go instead in the afternoon. Was so surprised by a text of another brother, our brother abe's house was burned. They were not able to save anything but only the clothes they're wearing. My brother's house second and third floor was made of wood so it could be easily caught by fire. My brother was sleeping at the third floor while the wife and the son went out. When my brother opened his eyes the house was already on flames. All he did was jump over the window and landed at the burning roof of the second floor resulted to a wound and burns on his feet. He was rush to the hospital for treatment. Their house was totally burned and few neighbors house too. Good there are firemen nearby so the fire didn't spread that big. This is due to faulty electrical wirings maybe. I pity my brother much, the house they built and lived for 25 years was turned into ashes.

Thanks Gabs, really I'm thankful to God no one was hurt in the family. Though my brother's foot was wounded, he's really so lucky to get out, otherwise oh my God. There are little helps coming aside from maybe an aid from the social welfare and we do appreciate all of these, material things can be acquired again as long as they are alive thru God's blessings they can move on. Thanks gabs little words of comfort matters. love u friend...
