I am Susan Kirk and I have created a GoFundMe for beloved friends of our family, Millbridge Elementary, and China Grove Middle School.

In the early morning hours of March 3rd, 2025, the Rodriguez family, Alfonso & Lara and their children, Maria (8th grade), Cruz (7th grade), Zane (5th grade), Max (3rd grade), lost their home located on Patterson Rd to a devastating fire. By the Grace of God, the entire family was able to get out of the home unharmed, but they have lost everything they owned. We are raising funds to help ease the financial burden of this tragedy that includes covering rental costs for temporary housing and replacing clothing and essential items lost in the fire.

Your kindness and support can help this family find hope and stability during this difficult time. Please consider making a donation and sharing their GoFundMe page. Every contribution, big or small, makes a difference.

With love and gratitude,

Susan Kirk
