Neighbors in Medina are organizing meals and supplies for the Eason family after a fire destroyed their home and everything inside it, WBBJ 7 Eyewitness News reported Thursday.
The fire was on Gibson Cemetery Road near State Route 187 on Wednesday night. The station did not report a cause or say whether anyone was hurt, and those details were not confirmed in the account.
A Meal Train is being put together, and local small businesses have set aside days to collect help. Flight Nutrition is running a Donate and Save 25 percent week from Nov. 6 through Nov. 13. Customers who bring an item from the family's need list, or make a donation to Rachel's Venmo, receive 25 percent off one purchase. The shop is also selling Rachel's Rally Tea that week, with all proceeds from that drink going to the family.
The published list includes Pampers size 5 diapers and baby wipes, orange Similac formula, and Philips Avent or Dr. Brown's bottles. Clothing requests include girls' 4T clothes, underwear and size 10 or 11 shoes; boys' clothes in 18 months through 2T and size 5 shoes; and men's XL or 2XL clothing, size 36 pants and size 14 shoes.
Those items can be left at LD2 Consignment, at 1363 Union University Drive, Suites A and B, or at Flight Nutrition, at 1348 Union University Drive, Suite H. WBBJ reported that Rachel Eason owns LD2 Consignment.
The report did not say how much has been collected so far or where the family is staying.
