Today I received the most heart-wrenching news . My brother Pat Stivers, otherwise known as "Uncle Pat," lost his home to a house fire. My parents, Tom and Arlene Stivers, were able to thankfully escape before the house completely burned to the studs. They lost everything, including their car, because they had no time to grab the keys.

We are asking for monetary donations so they can get the immediate things they need as this will be a long, traumatic road to figure out the next steps. We are so grateful to God for saving my parents as they are NOT replaceable like all of the materialistic things. Our family is doing everything we can to assist, and with your help, we can maybe make the holidays a little less heavy for them. The most important thing they need is prayers to make the next steps a smooth transition.

Thank you from the bottom of our hearts, the Stivers Family!
