Gatlinburg House Fire

Donation protected
This is very hard for my family and me because we come from a long line of people that do not ask for help. However, I want to do this for my mom and my brother. They lost their home in the Gatlinburg fires. My mom left the house as quickly as she could with one cell phone charger, 2 pictures that my grandfather had painted, one tote of photos, and the clothes on their back. That is now EVERYTHING they have. Unfortunately, insurance is only enough to cover the mortgage.

If all you can offer is a simple prayer, we will be eternally grateful. If it is laid on your heart to offer more, I pray it is returned to you tenfold.

Thank you so much and God bless!

Note: Gofundme is asking that I include additional information.

I, Bobbie Yocum, am raising the funds for my mother Susan Melchor and brother David Bailey that lost their house in the Gatlinburg fires this week. I live in Kentucky but will be traveling to help sort through the rubble, deliver 100% of the donations, and help them figure out the next steps.  Any donations will be used to replace necessities lost in the fire and secure new housing (as insurance is not enough to cover any of it). At this time, I am hand delivering donations until account information can be recovered and new debit cards delivered.  Thank you so much for your generosity. It literally brings me to tears that so many have selflessly given time, prayers, and donations to those that lost.  We are eternally grateful!
