Dade First-Family Connection's Martha Baker reports that members of the Dodson family, who lost everything when their Scratch Ankle Road home burned to the ground Dec.5, have found a new place to live but still lack necessities to put in it. She has compiled a wish list and is collecting these items for the family.

• They need:

• Washer/dryer

• Pots and pans

• Dishes/silverware

• Dressers or chest of drawers

• Mixer, toaster, microwave

• Towels, washrags

• Pillows, blankets (They have mattresses, but need bed frames and sheets/blankets for two queen sized beds and 1 full sized beds.

Right now, says Ms. Baker, they do no need any more clothing.

If you have anything to donate, please let Ms. Baker know and she can make arrangements to have it taken to the family. She may be reached at (423) 883-6938 or dade1st@msn.com.
