That can be viewed as a long term objective, in a way less thought of, I’ll explain
CHIPPEWA COUNTY, Mich,. – – A house fire in Chippewa county has left a family of 6, including a newborn baby, with no home.
Fire crews responded to the house on Johnson Road in Rudyard Wednesday afternoon.
The community is now stepping up to help with the aftermath.
On Christmas morning, the roads just outside of Rudyard were empty.
That afternoon, firemen poured in to extinguish the house fire.
An effort which a neighbor says ran into the early morning after the fire was re-ignited.
The community is working quickly to meet their basic needs, especially for the kids.
The eldest is 5 years old, the youngest born just a month ago
Just getting them the socks, underwear, some basic t-shirts, pants, and we’re going to move forward from there. Once we get a feel as to which direction we’re going. They will need housing, so that’s all taking place, as well. Once they get into housing, they will need furniture. Everything was lost in the fire, so everything they had, even the Christmas presents for their children, are all gone.
said Christin Mckerchie, victims’ mother and grandmother
Mckerchie posted on GoFundMe and says she will steward all the funds.
She’s also accepting drop-off donations at her house in Sault Saint Marie, which Mckerchie says is already filling up with both necessities and toys for the kids, who don’t realize they aren’t going back home.

Any idea what’s it been like trying to GIVE away a solid oak dining room table from what era, only God knows, with 2 leafs and chairs. Had a custom cut tempered glass cut for the top so I wouldn’t ruin it while doing what needed to be done, when no one has large families anymore. It’s not easy, then there is the kitchen table with more leafs and chairs. I’ll be calling that gramma soon.
