Fire leaves local family of 10 homeless.

The American Red Cross is accepting donations of clothing, toys and household items for Urbina's family. The children - all boys - are ages 1, 2, 3, 4, 7, 9, 12 and 14. Clothing sizes needed are 2, 3, 4, 5, 7, 10 and 14. The mother wears women's size 14 and needs maternity clothing. The father wears men's size 32 clothing.

The Red Cross said in a news release it was also committing $3,400 in assistance for food, clothing, shelter and other needs. The relief agency is also accepting monetary donations to help the family. To donate, call (575) 526-2631.

They lost everything. Everything.

My work is banding together to get this family a few more nights at the Motel 6, and we're also collecting household items and clothing. If you'd like to help, call the Southwestern Red Cross at (575) 526-2631 or contact me here and I'll help you help them.
