What happened to war veteran David Bates and his relatives who lost their home in a house fire on Veterans Day did have the support of the community in Knoxville when the word got out that the Bates family needed their help to recover the losses like clothing and the basic needs.
David is thankful that even though his family lost everything but the clothes on their backs, concerned neighbors went to the local stores to buy them their basic needs so they can rebuild their lives after the house fire that destroyed their home but thankfully, there no one died in the tragic fire on Monday.
A family friend has set up a Go Fund Me account so the kind people around the world can send donations so the Bates family can rebuild their lives soon.

That is true since worrying about events you cannot control will only worsen the health of the victims.

@amitkokiladitya That is true since bad events are meant to happen to test our faith and go stronger in our faith in God.
