Please support the Partlow family - DO NOT make them move!

Hey everyone,

My purpose in starting this petition is to hopefully help out some friends of mine. As most of you know, Massachusetts was recently hit with at least 3 tornados in a matter of about 45 minutes. It is said that the destruction spanned close to 40 miles from one end to the other. What you may not know is that my town, Monson, sustained a tremendous amount of damage, as we were hit with an F3 tornado. There were a lot of businesses damaged, but more so, homes that were completely destroyed. Without making this very long, the point I want to make is that my friends, Corey and Tina Partlow were one of the families whose home is a total loss. At the mercy of their insurance company, they were able to get a temporary mobile home to live in as long as they had land to put it on. Tina's Mom graciously allowed them to put the mobile home on her property, also in Monson. Unfortunately, there are some neighbors complaining to town officials, calling it an "eyesore" and want the town of Monson to make Corey and Tina remove it. If they are forced to move, they have nowhere else to put it, therefore, having to give it up and causing them to be homeless. They have children to take care of and raise and would like to keep life as normal as possible for their children and for themselves, So I am asking you to please just take a moment to consider signing this petition so that they may stay where they are, in the mobile home, on Tina's Mothers property in Monson. They are not hurting anyone, they are simply trying to survive, and would like to begin rebuilding the life they once knew. They've already been displaced once and lost everything, please do not allow this to happen to them again.

Thank you so much for your time, help and support. It is greatly appreciated!!!
