Our best wishes to the Zaleski and Troppi families as they recover from the loss of their houses in Bear Lake. They will undoubtedly need support for the coming weeks and months.
The Zaleskis' house on Stuart Rd. was severely damaged by fire on the morning of Friday, Sept. 19. They could use your help to replace clothing lost in the fire. Women's clothes in the following sizes would be most welcome.
Shoes 8.5-9
Pants 16-18/Lg.
Shirts XL/1x
Socks 8.5-9

Meanwhile, the Troppi family is also recovering from their own house fire, which occurred just a few days earlier, on Sunday, Sept. 14, on Potter Road, between Chief and Big 4 roads.
Neighbor Karen Groenwald told us that the family has plans to move into a rental unit.
Twin beds, at the moment, may be of the most help to the family. A couch has already been pledged to them.

The new community assistance group, Manistee Helping Manistee, directed by Lindsey Artman and Mallory Kenny, mobilized its forces within days of learning of the fires and has already delivered supplies to the Troppi family.
We plan to check in with both families soon, to find out what needs of theirs still need to be met.
