Well, a community is stepping into help after a mother
and her four children died in a house fire.
The father and another child survived.
Fox 4's Dionne Anglin, live en route
to Van Zandt County with how you can help that family.
Dionne?
Hi, Van Zandt County officials are expected
to give an update today on the community
after a devastating house fire that claimed five family members.
That fire has moved people to get involved,
to raise money, to help in the aftermath of the tragedy.
27-year-old Jasmine Henson and her four children died
after flames consumed their home Wednesday near Canton.
The youngest child, just three years old.
Kind gestures include donation drives
to help the surviving father and child.
The Belief Center is an organization focused
on helping victims of trauma.
Some members include mothers who have lost children.
For us, it's the transfer of love between a mother and a child.
It doesn't really have anything to do with presents or money.
It's just the love of a mom and a child
and being able to give
a kid a hug from a mom.
As the investigation continues,
a makeshift memorial of flowers and balloons
has formed near what's left of the family's home.
That news conference scheduled for 10 a.m. this morning.
Van Zandt County officials are expected to update things.
We will, of course, bring you that information.
This is the very latest live back to you.
All right, Dionne, thanks.
