One of my co-workers, at Tusculum University Dining, Christopher James Patton, lost his home in a devastating house fire this week in Greene County, TN.

On Monday, Nov. 10, the home of Donna and Christopher James Patton was destroyed by a fire. Reports indicate the fire may have originated near the fireplace. Both Donna and Christopher were able to escape unharmed.

Thankfully, they are safe, but they are now facing the overwhelming task of rebuilding their lives. This is a heart-wrenching time for them, as they've lost all their belongings and the place they called home.

Please consider donating to help them through this incredibly difficult time. Every contribution, no matter how small, will go directly to replacing essential belongings and helping them get back on their feet.

Your kindness, love, and support will mean the world to them as they begin to rebuild their lives from the ground up.

Thank you for helping bring hope during this difficult time.
