Tragedy struck a local family here in Western New York yesterday morning around 6am. The unthinkable happened.. as the family was asleep in their home their entire house exploded. The explosion could be felt for miles away. It also leveled the entire home, there is nothing left but debris and the home foundation. Jody and Judith Johnson; their daughters Katie, 18, and Sarah, 14; and son Nathan, 16 were inside their home when the explosion occurred early Tuesday morning. Hannah, 16, and Sam, 10 -- had spent the night with a family friend so they were not at home. Sarah did not make it out of the home, she perished in the explosion. Katie - the oldest daughter - is still listed in critical condition.  How anyone even survived this explosion is a mystery. The pictures are overwhelming, the out pouring of support is amazing, and this family could use us! 

As A Mom Do You Love or Snub Your College Student

Are you a Mom of a college student that goes to college away from home? Do you Love or Snub your away from home college student? Have you ever sent your out of town college going child a care package or has the thought of a shopping trip, boxing up items, and then trip to send the package deterred you from sending one? You'd be surprised at how many Moms do and do not send their college children care packages. Interestingly 87% of college students still depend on their parents for monetary support while in college and of all those away at college 88% of them get care package from home. If you are already supporting their college spending wouldn't it make more sense to send care packages of items they may need? Such items like fresh foods, hygiene supplies, linens, pens, papers, notebooks, technology gadgets.. I'm sure you get the picture! mygofer.com service can send your college student care packages right to their dorm rooms. Mother's can just log into mygofer and select those items their students may need to keep them healthy, clean, happy, and feel loved then simply just ship it right off direct to them. As a person who enjoys the service mygofer offers I can see how it would help Mother's eliminate the worry relating to the away from home college student regarding if they are eating right, keeping the proper hygiene, getting enough rest, having enough time to study, and having enough money to get by on. By sending them a care package, that was carefully selected using mygofer, Mother's can show their love and not be deemed a snub!
