I read on another news site that there are actually 9 people misplaced due to this fire. Apparently there were 2 families living in that house. Do we know if there were other children?

Along with people helping, I'm sure local businesses would want to help. For example, someone should contact our new Target - I'd be willing to bet they'd offer gift cards. Such requests, however, need to come from community leaders.

I have some clothes for thelittle ones and the mother. My heartfelt sympathy goes out to the family. 4 years ago we lost our hoime and belonginmgs to a fire.

are they taken money donations and where at ?

Does anyone know who the person is in the picture with the husky? I found a male husky yesterday evening and am looking for his home. Please Help!!

Connie, please email me and we can set up a pick up time and location. I know the family will be very grateful for your support at this time of need.

I have to look I was planning on getting rid some clothes I will have to see if they would cut anyone. I will let you guys know after I check it out after work.

What about a pancake breakfast at applebees in gambrills ? I can details from there as I have numerous friends who work out there.

That is kind of rude to assume they are illegal just because they are Hispanic. It was two adults and four kids. I know MANY white and black family living the same way.

I really think the the comment made by DD is uncalled for. This is a matter of a family who has lost everything and could have been injured and or killed by a fire in their home..You should really thank god they are ok instead of asking if they are Legal to be here! Have a heart!

Also the Bank account is set up for the "Rita Drive Fire Fund" If anyone would like to donate please let me know. I am also collecting clothing and house hold goods here at my home right up the street from the families home. Let me know if you would like to help out.

At AMS we are also collecting money, clothes and other household items that they may have. If you would like to make a donation, please take a check addressed to AMS to the main office and ask for it to be placed in Zachary Jones' mailbox. We will send a lump check after donations have been collected.

This family has been long time clients at Odenton Vet Hospital. We have taken up a collection also and an employee is going to keep their pets until they get settled. Mary Groven at First Choice Realty is working with their insurance company to get them into a temp house ASAP. It's wonderful how the community is pulling together to help this family.

So glad to hear they had insurance. It's just aweful what haapened, but would,ve been worse without ins.

Odenton Elementary School has offered to collect and deliver donations of clothes for the family.

I have sent out a message to all the Girls Scout troops in the community and we will be collecting items and donations for the family.

Thank you for all the support and Help you are giving to the Martinez family. We had an anonymous person make a donation yesterday into the Rita Drive Fire Fund bank account. Thank you to whoever you are for helping us help the family! You are awesome!
