Single Dad, Son’s Lose Everything In Weekend House Fire.
Brother sets up GoFundMe Account to help man and his three sons through Christmas season.

CROSBY, TX -- A Crosby man and his three sons are picking up the pieces after a fire destroyed their home Saturday.
Darrell Martin and his three boys, ages 16, 14 and 8, were all at home when a fire erupted at their home.
"The kids were at the house. One of them broke through a window to get out. The rest of them made their way out the door," Martin's brother, Thomas Rogers told KPRC.

The fire spread so quickly that Martin and his sons were able to escape with the clothes on their backs, and nothing else.
Rogers said while they are grateful to have escaped uninjured, everything they owned, even their Christmas presents, are all gone.

"It's Christmas time. Nobody should have to go through losing everything they own during this time of year. He's already struggling as a single parent, fighting to give his kids what every other kid on Earth would like to have at Christmas," Rogers said.
His brother started a GoFundMe account and said while he can't get his brother's home back, he hopes he can still help make the holidays a little easier for Martin and his sons.
They are asking for any and all donations, including food, clothes, and gift for the boys. You can reach him by email at thomasr9696@gmail.com, or contribute online, through: https://www.Gofundme.Com/martin-family-house-fire.
