A fire broke out Monday morning, Feb 6 around 9am at a small row of apartments, displacing 9 families and sending at least one boy to the hospital by air. Money is being raised for the benefit of all the families affected, now homeless with very little to no possessions. This fund is used for what he insurance company will not cover and will help get the families on their feet after this tragic event.
As of Feb 8 items still needed: nonperishable food items; men’s and women’s toiletries; baby supplies, food, wipes and diapers; laundry supplies; paper plates and napkins; plastic utensils and cups; luggage; and duffle bags.
Monetary donations are still being accepted through GoFundMe, the City of Batesville, and MainSource Bank in Batesville.
