"D"s News: boy, 8, who died after saving 6 relatives in New York blaze


"D"s NEWS: 

Donations pour in for 'hero' boy, 8, who died after saving 6 relatives in New York blaze

A Message from D 

My heart is so heavy over this story, tears ran down my face, as I could hardly contain myself as I listened to the news report telling the events that lead to little Tyler Doohan's death. 

His selfless act of heroism as he went back in that burning home to rescue his disabled grandfather, after already awaking his grandmother and the rest of the family. 

Circumstances surrounding the terrible tragedy seem unclear to me, why didn't anyone helped get others out of the home? Where were all the adults? Neighbors? 

And this statement concerns me deeply: I quote 

" Other neighbors said they had been told by occupants of the trailer that officials of Morgan Management, which owns the Monroe County park, deemed it unlivable on at least one occasion and were concerned by the number of people living there." 

“There was too many people, where would you put all those people?” neighbor Michelle Brosseau told the Democrat & Chronicle, adding that she considered notifying county officials. “Now, maybe, I wish I had called.”

Maybe!!!!! Maybe she wish she had called, all seems unimportant now, what if's,  if only people would speak up, do something, SAY SOMETHING!!!!! Maybe Tyler Doohan, and his grandfather would be alive!!!!! Maybe, just maybe, someone could have helped the family out!!!! Found out their needs!!! Their situation, maybe they were down on their luck, like more than 76% of Americans who are living paycheck-to-paycheck, says CNN Money. 
If only people would take the time to GET INVOLVED!!!!!!! Take the time to know your neighbors!!!!!!  

Being SILENT makes (YOU) PART GUILTY TOO! 

It's wonderful how everyone is pulling together to raise money for the funeral, why can't people join together and help each other so there never has to be these kinds of funerals!!! 

How many other tragedies are taking  place everyday because people just don't want to get involved!!!!! 

Tyler could have been your son or grandson!!!! 

I feel so heartbroken for his mother, and family who know how much their son must have loved them all to give up his life for them, and I wonder if any of us, given such a situation could really truly lay down our life, in such a manor as Tyler did. He is a true (hero) and in my eyes should be given The "Metal of Honor"!!!! What a courageous little boy he was, he had the courage of ten mighty men or more!! 

May God comfort the family, and give them peace in their time of need. My prayers and deepest condolences go out to Tyler's family, you raised one mighty brave good hearted boy, and I know you are very proud of him as we all are!!!! You should be very proud of your son!!! He did what he thought was right, no matter what the cost!!! I am so very sorry for your loss. Tyler did not die in vein, for his sacrifice for others will live on forever in his memory! 

God Bless
