Carol and Paul Allen

Let's recap this week shall we...July 15, last Sunday, I see a story air on WPTV Channel 5 about Carol and Paul Allenwho lost everything in a house fire and were only able to save their four birds and two dogs. The inventory of blessings as of today Sunday July 23, 2012 at the time I hit the post button are as follows:

1. Lake Worth landlord donates apartment
2. I have asked the City Manager if he would waive full/partial utility deposit (pending answer)
3. Anonymous man has instructed the Allens to shop for a trailer which he will pay for.
4. Father Victor Lopez of Lake Worth (Pam Lopez, City Clerk's husband), through a family that reached out to him, has facilitated the donation of all the furniture in a fully furnished two bedroom home.
5. Dr. Patel of Family Dentist of the Palm Beaches in his Lake Worth office saw the Allens at 9:45am today July 23, 2012 and took first impressions and expedited the ordering of two brand new sets of dentures.

6. Robert Waples donated a computer, monitor, printer, table fan, box of dishes, board games, tomato planter
7. Jenny Weed donated a box of dishes
8. William Waters Director of Sustainability City of Lake Worth donated some beautiful pieces of furniture
9. AnnaMaria Windisch-Hunt donated an adorable bedroom chair
10. Terry & Buttons Brokovich gave me $55.00 for the Allens which I will give them tonight
11. Sunday night Mayor Pam Triolo who cooked dinner all day today will served the Allens at my house a turkey with fixings, baked ziti, salad, garlic bread and we will sit down to eat as a family. IT WAS DELICIOUS!

I hope you share the news of these blessings that are a direct result and answer to prayers and reaching out to neighbors in Lake Worth. We live in an AMAZING CITY! I am so PROUD THAT LAKE WORTH OUR HOME!
