One thing about people from Texas is that we have a heart of gold.  We have the embodiment of what outsiders call "Southern charm".  A term that is no stranger when it comes to the people of the Lone Star state.

Jonathan Joss, otherwise mostly known for his voice work on the Fox TV show "King of the Hill" suffered a major tragedy when his Southside San Antonio home caught ablaze earlier this month.  Joss claimed that the house was the home he grew up in and had until recently, lived in with his wife Tristan along with his dogs.  Unfortunately, one of his animals succumbed to the fire.  Afterward, Joss told media reporters

This is a house I grew up in. I’m more concerned about my dog that died, but you know what? The good Lord will protect us. I don’t know which one is dead yet, man. They won’t let me go in the house.

In the days after the blaze, Mr. Joss and his wife were forced to relocate to a motel and claimed that they lost all their worldly possessions including the family vehicle.  He was even vocal that he currently did not have a job.

As bleak as things are looking for Mr. Joss, all is not lost.  Sympathetic fans started a GoFundMe for the family to try and assist them to get back on their feet.  Since then, at the time of this article, it has raised over $5,000.
