On, Saturday, May 8, Don and Vickie Whitfield's house of 50 years was completely destroyed by a fire. It then reignited the next morning and the fire department had to come back out again. While we are so grateful that everyone got out safe, they have lost everything including their dog (Malley). I know a lot of you were customers of Whitfield Tire when it was open in Benton. I am their daughter in law, Starlite Whitfield. I have watched for the past 20 years how hard my in-laws work, how giving they are to anyone in need, and how they have helped me so much. This was truly all that they had. All their memories were in this house. They brought their son, Jason, home from the hospital to this house. Our daughter, Jaci, has spent the last 10 years playing so many games like hide and seek with her PaPaw there. I have helped Vickie cook so many meals in the kitchen (which is what the picture is of). When we sat around the table for breakfast that morning, we did not realize it would be the last time. These funds are needed as soon as possible so they can begin to get back on their feet. I love Don and Vickie with my whole heart. This would mean so much to Jason and I if you are able to help in anyway. Thank you and May God Bless You!!
