Butler Family Lost Nearly Everything to Flood

My name is Billy Darks.  In concert with several fellow friends, we are raising funds for the Butler family and their four children who suffered a catastrophic loss over the weekend due to the widespread flooding in Smith and Wilson counties in Tennessee. Ray and Amanda Butler owned and operated an auction house in Carthage, TN. During the heavy rains their property took on nearly three feet of standing water, causing heavy damage to both their home and 51000 square foot warehouse.  They also lost inventory totaling well over $100,000. They are having to obtain several roll off dumpsters in order to dispose of ruined merchandise and household items, and the cost of cleanup combined with the financial impact to their family has been devastating.

They are a proud family, which is why this GoFundMe has been started by their close friends (with their reluctant blessing). They are beloved in their community and we want to do everything we can to get them swiftly to the other side of this tragedy.  We hope you will help in any way you can.

Thank you sincerely for any help you can provide to this wonderful family. God Bless.
