WATE is reporting a fire near Madisonville that has destroyed the home of a legally blind mother and her five children. All escaped the blaze but now they have only each other.
They need clothing for children aged 3 - 16; they need furniture and housing. The Red Cross is putting them up temporarily in a motel.
There is a help line at (423) 337-9011.
