Benefit Held for Surviving Sibling of Fatal Rayne Fire

One week on from that deadly fire, which left four children dead, the community stepped up Sunday to help their loved ones.

A benefit was held out at Union Hall in Rayne for the oldest sibling in the family, who was not home the night of the fire.

"With each passing day, it gets a bit easier. I don't know if that means anything, but we are a very close family and a very God fearing family."

Faith is what's getting the McDade family through ,like Tim Jones, who lost his niece and nephews last week. He and other family members are staying strong for the surviving child, 11 year old Tyrin.

"People also don't realize, not only did he lose his four siblings, but he also doesn't have access to his mother right now either. It's just tough for him, it is tough," said Jones.

Dozens of volunteers started working at five o'clock Sunday morning and the line has been through the door, but it isn't just the community of Rayne that was coming out to show their support.
