House Fire

Early this evening, my sister Kristin's house tragically burned down. Her husband, Allen Kelley, and my nieces, Dazia and Jayden, lost everything, including their beloved family pets. The fire completely engulfed their Second Avenue residence, leaving nothing behind.

The Fayetteville Fire Department responded around 1:45 p.m. with two engines and one ladder truck. Thankfully, the family was not at home during the fire. Allen Kelley, a native of Fayetteville, TN, and a 1998 graduate of Lincoln County High School, along with his wife Kristin Rice (some may know her from Standard Furniture) and their two daughters, are now facing unimaginable loss and hardship.

We know that with the current economic situation, money is tight for everyone. However, even a small donation of $25-$50 could make a significant difference in helping this family start to rebuild their lives. As we all understand, being a teenager is challenging enough, and the added burden of losing everything makes it even harder. Helping Dazia and Jayden replace their clothes and essentials would mean the world to them.

Please, let's come together as a community to support this family in their time of need. Your generosity and kindness are deeply appreciated.

Please keep Kristin, Allen, Dazia, and Jayden in your thoughts and prayers during this heart-wrenching time.
