When a tragedy happens in a neighborhood, especially a fire, everyone wants to help. The big question is how? There are different levels of how you could help. You could send food, raise money, or even let them stay in your home.
Sending food to a family who just suffered a traumatic event is an amazing mitzvah. When a family has just encountered a blazing fire, sending food may no sound like much, but it is. You could send a fruit basket, vegetables from your garden, home baked cookies, or maybe even a warm lasagna.
When a family has just lost their home to a fire, every penny helps. Maybe the family doesn’t want to seem like they need money, but if you were in their position you wouldn’t be throwing your money around. What you can do, is raise money from the whole community for the family. Then the family wouldn’t feel the need to ask for money.
When a house gets burned down, the family obviously doesn’t have a place to sleep. A great way to help, is offer the family your home to stay in. Even if you don’t have a very big house, it doesn't matter. When you offer your home, you are showing how much you care for the family in need. And that’s all that matters.
Now you know a number of meaningful ways you can help a family in your neighborhood, if they are in a fire. Tragedies happen, and we need to learn how to help make them better. You can send food, raise money, or even let them stay in your home until they are recovered. “Treat you’re neighbor as you would want to be treated”.
