I will forward this information to some who are Walton County Habitat board members. Hopefully I can find out something and will let you know.

Who did you forward info to? I was going to call them in the morning and see what needs to be done. Thanks!

I have an update about Shanna Day's children. I posted this on the original thread about the accident, but wanted to let people know that they can help also.

There are 4 kids left behind. Three of them go to Butler and 1 goes to ECMS. They are living with their Grandmother (Sonya) here in SRB. A number of people at Butler are providing meals to the family and there has been a fund set up for the children. The kids are with other family right now in AL and returning to their grandmother's tomorrow.

Please help in any way you can. PM me if you wish to deliver meals and I will get you in touch with someone who is coordinating it. I have a flyer that I can fax to anyone regarding the information on the fund that I received from the grandmother tonight. They are asking to get it on the radio and on local TV. If anyone can help with that, let me know.

I was blessed enough to be able to deliver a meal tonight and spoke with Sonya. She is a lovely woman who lost her only daughter (she has 2 sons) and now has the task of raising her grandchildren. My heart goes out to all of them. For many of us, tragedies are just a flash of news across a screen, but for these kids and their grandmother, the effects will last a lifetime.

Here is part of an email about the fund:

I spoke with Sonya yesterday evening. and she did get an account set up at People's First Community Bank. The name is: "Shanna Day Childrens Benefit Fund". There will be something in the NWF Daily News this weekend. You can go to any People's First and donate.

If you are still interested in helping with food, I know she would appreciate it. Sonya is on disability now, and is still trying to wrap her mind around all of this. She is very appreciative of any help.

What absolutely beautiful, children! My prayers are with them and their grandmother! I'm sure that these times, especially at the holidays, are so very difficult, for them all!

Thank you so much! SoWal is the best!

THanks for the info and keeping this thread going. I'm sure it will help the family get the support they need in many ways. And I hope they get a Habitat for Humanity House in the area!

I just wanted to let everyone know that through many generouse parents, and the supply store at the middle school all 4 kids will now have new backpacks & school supplies to begin the 2nd half of the school year with! The community support has been amazing! Thank you to all who have donated - no matter what it was. Thank you to all who have kept this family in your prayers. They will be better because of you.
