Morris Family Loses Everything In Early Friday Morning Fire ~ Donations Needed

The family of Varsity football player Malachi Congo suffered a house fire in the early morning hours on Friday, October 14th. The family of 5,  and their 2 dogs, were able to escape safely, but left with nothing more than the clothing on their backs.   I’m told that Dad ran back in and saved the dogs during all the chaos!  What a hero!!!!

I was told that the fire was started by a faulty surge protector.

I talked with Brett Snyder, head Football Coach for the Morris Chiefs, who’s been advocating for help for the family.  Snyder said, “The Morris Chiefs are one big family, & have offered to help in any way possible!” #OnceAChiefAlwaysAChief
