Family recovers from fire

Two weeks ago, Shannon Farwell woke up her 10 and 8 year old daughters because there was a fire in their house on Allison Avenue. Thankfully, they got out out. Shannon is hearing-impaired, so her daughter called 9-1-1 that night. Their home was destroyed, along with money they had set aside to buy Christmas presents. But by Christmas Eve, Shannon and her girls had moved into a new furnished townhome and they are doing just fine thanks to friends and neighbors who had come together to help. The girls have transferred school and will attend in West Des Moines next year.
