Update 1/31/24: We have decided to lower the fundraiser back to $30,000 and share with you why. Bobby is so blessed with the amount of support in our community. He had someone come and demolished and dispose of the old house. This was a donated service to Bobby. What a BIG blessing. We are still seeking assistance for Bobby to get him a home and to have all the furniture and personal necessities to replace once we get him a home. Remember Bobby didn’t have any insurance and this community has already rallied around him during his time of need but we are still needing more to help Bobby get him into a home. Thank yo again for all those who have checked on him, stopped by and donated.
Update 1/8/24: We have researched the cost the have the trailer that burnt down hauled away. For this reason we have updated the amount from 30k to 50k. We are tremendously touched by the support shown to Bobby over the last few days. Thank you but we still have a ways to go.
Update 1/6/24: There is no insurance in the home. It is a complete loss. I’ve raised the goal amount.
Let's get together friends, family and community to help one of the kindest and sweetest people I know. My best friends father, Bobby Partlow, experienced a horrific devastating house fire on the morning of 1/5/2024 . His granddaughter (my best friend Kadie's daughter) was there staying the night with him when she woke up to flames around 4am. Firefighters attempted to control the blaze, but the fire spread so quickly the entire contents of the home was destroyed. Praise Jesus they were able to escape safety, but the house and all his belongings are a complete loss. If you are able to help offer a donation to help Bobby aka Paw Paw any amount will be helpful.
Losing everything, especially right here at the beginning of the year, resulted in unimaginable hardship for this kind, sweet, hard-working, selfless man who is always willing to help others.
Please help with financial assistance in any amount until he can get back on his feet. Now is the time for us to show Bobby our love and support. HE NEEDS US!
We would like to thank ANF for coming out and trying to help us. Click here to view the story that aired in CBS Atlanta News First:
