The Panich family that suffered a devastating home fire back in January 2022 is doing well, thanks be to God. None of the family members were injured, however, all of the household items were lost. Nearby family members have assisted with temporary housing until a home can be rebuilt. At this time, the family is still in need of 3 twin beds and can use financial gifts of monetary donations or gift cards.
Make checks payable to Lighted Cross Lutheran Church and mail to: 2310 W. 9th St., Ashtabula, OH 44004, with "The Panich Family" on the memo line. All donations for the Panich family will go to the family. If you have questions, contact Pastor Freddy Davison at: 440-444-5479. Thanks to all of those who have donated clothing, furniture, and monetary gifts. Please keep the Panich family in your prayers.
