Fire Disaster Fund for Marita Halford
Donation protected
Our aunt Marita Halford lost everything in a fire Oct. 4, 2019 in Eddiceton, Mississippi. Not only did Aunt Marita lose her worldly possessions, but our family lost the old home place where Marita and her brothers were raised. This loss is felt deeply for our entire family, but no one is suffering more than Aunt Marita. Her every belonging -- from clothing to photos to housewares -- was lost. Now in her twilight years rather than focusing on her grandchildren, she is facing starting over. Unfortunately, the home was not insured, so this need is immediate. Please join us in helping out a truly precious lady as she rebuilds her life.
Quick update for the folks at GoFundMe: 1) My name is Arie Wilson Passwaters ( and I'm working with my uncle John Wilson). Marita is John's sister and my paternal aunt (and one of my favorite people.) 2) I'm from Meadville, Mississippi where my aunt lives, but now reside in Houston, Texas 3) Funds are greatly appreciated and will be used to secure new housing in Franklin County, Mississippi. 4) My uncle John Wilson has a savings account established for her. Thanks!
