A family sells cinnamon rolls to raise money to buy a new home after a house fire. “E. Texas family cinnamon roll fundraiser helps buy new home” is the title of my article. My article is from KLTV or here. A family in Hopkins county, Texas lost their home due to a house fire back in September. To raise money for a new house the family sold cinnamon rolls. After weeks of fundraising they came out with a total of $20,000. Many people who helped raise the money were able to tour the house once it arrived. This month the home arrived and will be ready to be moved into on March 1st. Although It’s upsetting they family lost their house, I’m happy it brought them closer together. The family says they now understand what’s it like to go through something so tragic, and want to help others and continue fundraising in different ways. This affects me because I know someone who recently lost their house in a fire. This way of saving up for their new house was a great idea. To continue finding ways raising money for others is a very generous thing to do. It’s awesome to see someone keep helping others after they have gone through something like this. I find this truly inspiring. This affects the world because there are several people who lose their homes everyday. This family took action to get back what they had lost. With the help and donations of others it’s amazing to see how far a family can come and grow by working together. I hope people can learn from this story by realizing what hard work can do. Even though the road can have a few bumps in it, you still end up where you plan on going.
