Sometimes, good people have bad things happen to them that have a detrimental effect on their lives. We're Marv and Lynda Overman, and we are asking for your help on behalf of our dear friends, Tim, Terra, and Lily Marsden.

The Marsdens live in Red Oak, IA, where severe weather hit a couple of days ago. High winds knocked some tree limbs onto a power line, and the Marsden home caught on fire. The main fire damage is to the upstairs rooms, but the entire house is damaged to the extent that it is not livable at this time. They are temporarily living with Terra's parents while decisions are being made on what to do with their house.

This disaster struck at a difficult time. Many of their personal items in the house are damaged and possibly not recoverable, so they will need to be replaced. Lily graduated and hosted her graduation party 2 days after the storm, and will now go through the extra expenses of starting college life.

We are prayerfully asking you to consider being an angel-blessing by helping to support Tim, Terra, and Lily during their difficult time. We don't know how much help they will need, but we anticipate that it will be substantial. Thank you for your kindness.
