Ted Short, a former Hot Springs police officer, recently experienced an unimaginable tragedy. After eight years of marriage, Ted lost his beloved wife Angela in a house fire. The fire was contained to one room, but the damage left Ted without the means to repair his home. Now, he is forced to live in the same house where he lost Angela, surrounded by reminders of that heartbreaking day. The emotional toll is immense, making it difficult for Ted to focus on anything other than his loss, and the memories of happier times with family feel distant.

In addition to the devastation at home, Ted faced significant expenses while Angela was hospitalized at the Tulsa Hillcrest Burn Center. The costs of travel and lodging added to the financial strain, leaving him with little left to address the repairs his house desperately needs. Ted’s situation is a stark reminder of how quickly life can change, and how important it is to have a supportive community during times of crisis.

Any support for Ted and his family will be deeply appreciated. Your generosity will help cover the costs of repairing his home and ease the burden of the expenses he faced while caring for Angela. Thank you in advance for keeping Ted and his family in your thoughts and prayers, and for helping them find hope and healing in the midst of their grief.
