Hello fellow social workers,<br>
<br>
Perhaps this may happen often or not, but this is the first time that during
my experience as a social worker, even though I am interning, that what has
happened in my community has really coincided with my practice.<br>
<br>
Friday afternoon 3 young girls were hit and killed by an oncoming car on
State Hwy 34 in Terrell, TX crossing the street to go home. Two of the girls,
Ana Segura and Viridiana Roa, were in high school, and Jacqueline Segura
attended the middle school in Terrell. <br>
<br>
http://www.wfaa.com/news/local/Terrell-schools-brace-for-grief-stricken-students-78676462.html<br>
<br>
I've attended these schools, the new highway that was built and opened within
this year is actually right behind my home that I have lived in for over 10
years and I can see from my backyard where the accident took place. I used to
play in the field that was there during my childhood and this is such a
tragedy to know that lives were now taken there too soon.<br>
<br>
I'm currently about to end my internship with the Terrell ISD Family Resource
Center and Counseling, so I was one of the helping professionals there along
with clergy and counselors even from other school districts at the Terrell
schools on Monday. <br>
<br>
Seeing the students at Terrell High School, many were mourning but all
discussed ways to help the family. The students have really come together to
support one another during this time and have the desire to help the families
in any way possible. They have inspired me to do so as well.<br>
<br>
I am writing you to see if it would be possible for you to make a small
donation to the Segura/Roa family benefit account to help the families with
their financial expenses at this time. Donations have to be physically made
at an American National Bank (ANB), because the bank is not allowed to give
out the account number. Any donation would be greatly appreciated. <br>
<br>
If there are any questions you can call the Terrell ANB at (972) 524-3411<br>
<br>
Also if you are needing to locate the nearest local ANB to you, you can go to
this web address:<br>
http://www.anbtx.com/locations/locations.htm<br>
<br>
I may not have children, but I have seen what the loss of a child can do to a
parent. The last worry that needs to be of concern is finances. If you can
not donate, the spread of work of the benefit account would also be helpful.
Thank you for your time.<br>
<br>
