Support Luther Fire Victims' Recovery

Paying it forward! I’m raising funds to help the victims of the Luther wildfires that happened on Friday, March 14. Families have lost their homes and a couple have lost their livelihoods. In 2012, I suffered the same emergency and lost everything in a house fire. My community loved me, prayed for me, and raise me up to be able to start again.

100% of the raised funds will go to fire victims in Luther. I will donate the fees to cover whatever GoFundMe charges. I am in contact with the local fire department to get a list of those affected. I will also post all transactions for complete transparency.

gof fund me asked me to clarify a few things:

To answer your questions: I am not related biologically or by marriage to any of the people that I was raising money for. It is for my community who had lost their homes in a fire three days before I started the GoFundMe. They are in the same boat that I was and I wanted to help out.

I was going to withdraw the funds and distribute them to the people that are still needing help. It’s only $575 in that account so I was going to withdraw it and distribute it myself.

There is a Red Cross team still on site in Luther, Oklahoma and I was gonna go find out if anyone was needing that money so that I could hand it to them. I was going to add the fees that are taken out by your company when I withdraw the money so that all of the money that was raised actually goes to the fire victims.

Please help me help them! Share widely!
