Thanks to all who passed on these heartbreaking fundraisers:

Support the Thomas Family:

“Today my family suffered a double tragedy. My children and grandchildren suffered a house fire, and all of their belongings were destroyed. The most devastating and painful was one of my granddaughters did not survive the fire. Let our Angel rest in Heaven.

It is difficult to know exactly where to start rebuilding. Everything was lost in the fire. My family only had the clothes worn when they escaped the fire. They will have to relocate to temporary housing, and we will have to replace everything.

Thank you for your prayers, thoughts, generosity, and donations for my family during their long journey to rebuild. Please, keep us lifted in prayer.”

Support for the Hart Family:

“On September 13th, 5 year old Allison Hart was in a tragic fatal accident. We as her family, friends and community want to come together to best support the Hart family in any way we can. (more…)
