CHELAN ? A family of three who was burned out of their Chelan trailer home early Sunday morning needs donations of clothing and toiletries.
Community members and the non-profit Give Naked have established a drop-off location for those donations at Wilbur Ellis in Chelan, 1680 Willmorth Drive.
The fire at 80 Apple Acres Road was reported at 4:27 a.m. Sunday. The cause of the fire was an overheated electrical system, probably created by continuously-run space heaters, said Tim Lemon, chief of Fire District 7 in Chelan. He said a nearby trailer also suffered smoke damage but no one was injured in the fire.
Cherylann Crego, director of the Chelan nonprofit organization Give Naked, said Alondra Medina-Martinez, 17, and her husband and 20-month-old son were awoken by smoke and got out of the trailer with only the clothes they were wearing. The name of the husband and child were not available.
?They had no time to grab anything and they lost their car, all their government ID and documentation,? Crego said.
Medina-Martinez wears medium to large shirts, size 7 to 8 pants and size 7 1/2 shoes. Her boy wears size 4. Her husband, who works outside, needs extra large shirts, wears size 10 1/2 shoes, and wears pants size 34 by 32.
Crego said this is the second tragedy this year for Medina-Martinez. Her mother, Angelica M. Medina Aguilar, 38, and brother, Guadalupe Medina Aguilar, 4, were killed in a car accident Oct. 23 near Chelan.
For more information on how to help the family, call Crego at 387-5563.
