On July 5, 2025, Kellie Austin was in a tragic accident. We are so grateful that Kellie survived the accident. She did, however, lose her right hand. She is a Realtor, a mom, grandmother, and a friend. Kellie is the Chairwoman of the Stephens County Republican Party and a dedicated member of The Pointe Church.

It will take several months for Kellie to heal. Since Kellie lost her right hand, she will need to learn how to use her left hand as primary and be fitted with a prosthetic hand. Although we now joke (she started it) that she can do all of that with one hand tied behind her back, she needs time to heal. She needs our help. Please consider donating to her GoFundMe page; she will be off work and the medical bills will be high. You can also sign up on Meal Train to bring her dinner, sit with her, or help Kellie with everyday tasks that are now a challenge. Most of all, say a prayer for healing and the challenging months ahead.
