Restore Hope for Mitch and Kara's Family

What should be the happiest time in a family’s life has turned into a nightmare for Mitch, Kara, Lakely, and Tennie. Just weeks after welcoming Fletcher, they were forced out of their home — not by fire, not by flood, but by oil seeping through their bathroom floors and flooding half of their home.

At first, it seemed as if they were dealing with a water leak, but that was quickly ruled out. The mysterious dark liquid (that is still coming up from the ground a month later) was tested, and the results came back positive for oil. All signs point to an abandoned oil well beneath their home. Despite the testing, state officials (OCC) are refusing to acknowledge it as an oil leak, and no agency is stepping up to help. Yet, they did declare the home unsafe to inhabit. The family has been told they can’t live there, but their insurance won’t cover a single cent. Now, they are homeless with three kids, no answers, and no ideas of where to turn next or how to move forward. They are living in limbo.

Many have asked how they can help, and they’ve asked for prayer, but it has been four weeks of no progress or answers, and they need our help. This is how we can help them as they fight to uncover the truth and rebuild their lives.

If you’ve ever known the fear of uncertainty, please consider helping. Every donation, every share, every kind word means the world right now.

This family needs hope. Let’s show them they’re not alone.
