The fire that brought down our house last Nov. 25 at exactly 9:30pm in Chalan Kiya village near the Monsignor Guerrero Road have reduced us to the lowest chapter of our lives. I have lost everything except for the lives of the members of my family. I have five children and, without the courage and presence of mind of their mother, some of them or even she may probably have lost their lives to the fire.<\/p>\n
We have survived that tragedy and that is why we are very grateful to the people of this community who helped us and gave their support so that we could get back to our lives and move on. Thanks to the Oleai Elementary School\u2019s principal, faculty members, students and parents, to the Hopwood Junior High School\u2019s principal, school staff, teachers, and students, to the Rotary Club of Saipan Internationals\u2019 officers and members, to Hon. Juan Lizama who donated to us a double family-sized bed (It\u2019s a good place to start), to Uncle Ben\u2019s Music and Dance Studio\u2019s owners and artists (parents), to Lynn Corella for her generous mental support and counseling, and most especially to the officers, staff, and volunteers of the American Red Cross. Thank you all for your support. May God bless you and a merry Christmas and a happy New Year to all.<\/p>\n
