Help Karen Barton Rebuild After a Devastating House Fire

On Saturday night, Karen Barton’s life was forever changed when a sudden house fire destroyed everything she owned. In a matter of minutes, her home, her vehicles, and the belongings she had gathered over a lifetime were gone. The loss is total, and the road ahead is heavy.

Anyone who knows Karen knows her heart. She is one of those rare people who is always giving, her time, her kindness, her love, often quietly and without hesitation. She shows up for others, offers help before it’s asked for, and lives her life with compassion and generosity at the center. Karen has spent years being a light to those around her, and now she is the one in need of that same care and support.

As an elderly woman, rebuilding from such a devastating loss is especially overwhelming. She is facing the enormous task of replacing the basics of daily life while also carrying the emotional weight of losing everything familiar and precious to her.

This fundraiser is an opportunity for us to come together for Karen—to wrap her in the same generosity she has so freely given to others. Every donation will help her begin again and remind her that she is not alone.

The Bible tells us:

“Truly I tell you, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did for me.”

Matthew 25:40

When we see someone in need, we are called to see it as though Jesus Christ Himself was in need.

Thank you for supporting Karen Barton during this heartbreaking season. Your kindness, prayers, and generosity will make a real and lasting difference.
