Fire Leaves Family Homeless; Couple Has 4 Young Children
'Scared To Death; Family Needs Aid To Find Rental By BILL JONES and AMY ROSE Staff Writers A family of seven, including four children under age 10, that was left homeless by a Tuesday night fire, is searching for a new rental home. Kelley Johnson said during a Thursday telephone interview that she, her boyfriend, Jason Tyler, their four children and her wheelchair-bound mother were left homeless when fire destroyed their Mohawk area home on Tuesday night. "We lost everything we had," Johnson said. Although the Greene County Chapter of the American Red Cross put the family up in an area motel for two days after the fire, the family is now homeless, according to Johnson. She had made arrangements on Thursday for her 56-year-old disabled mother, Carol Johnson, to stay with a relative in New Market. But the rest of the family, including herself, her boyfriend, and their children, girls nine, seven and six, and a three-year-old boy, now have nowhere to live. The three girls attend school at McDonald Elementary School. Johnson said she hopes to find someone who will "work with" the family on a new rental residence. Need Place To Stay Johnson said her family plans to spend all day today calling local churches to ask for help. "I'm scared to death," she said in a telephone interview this morning. "I don't know what we're going to do." Johnson said she had received one telephone call from a woman who saw a story about the fire on www.GreenevilleSun.com. The woman told Johnson she had clothes for the children, girls nine, seven and six, and some items for the three-year-old boy. Johnson said anyone who has an available rental residence that the family might be able to use is asked to call her at (423) 748-5956.
