Dear Homewood-Flossmoor Community,

https://www.gofundme.com/jalon-family?utm_source=internal&utm_medium=email&utm_content=cta_button&utm_campaign=upd_n

The Bristol family lost nearly EVERYTHING in a tragic house fire in the early hours of Monday morning. Gratefully, none of the family members were injured and the family is safe. However, the house is now uninhabitable and the family is displaced. Parents Jermaine & Mimi and their sons Jalon (pictured) & Jacobi are going through a really rough time. They are extremely shaken by the sudden disaster of their Flossmoor home. I'm sure you can imagine leaving your home in the middle of the night with nothing but the clothes on your back is devastating. We are requesting our community ban together to show support for a family that has been extremely active in the community. Needless to say, the Bristols can use the financial support of their family, friends, and HF neighbors. Funds will go to help the family get back on their feet. There is no donation too big or small and would be greatly appreciated. The big picture is raising money to assist the family with their immediate needs like school supplies, clothing and toiletries. This is a great opportunity to demonstrate solidarity and combine our resources to provide assistance.Please keep the Bristols in your prayers and thoughts!
