Help Chris Rebuild After Losing Everything In Home Fire

I'm creating this for my best friend, Chris Ragland.

On Saturday, January 25th, Chris lost his family home and all of his and his kids' belongings in a fire.

The fire started around 10:00 am, and in just a matter of hours, everything was gone. Not just the normal material items that we all need to live day-to-day, but everything else that he and his children held dear. Pictures of the kids, keepsakes from his grandparents, all of their clothing, toys, and everything that wasn't by chance in the truck.

Chris has always been someone who is willing to help anyone, at any time, no matter the inconvenience to him. He doesn't judge, he isn't concerned with himself, and he has one of the biggest hearts of anyone I've met.

Thank God, Chris, the kids, and his sweet dog Pete were not there at the time the fire started, but it's left him without a place to call home.

Anyone that knows Chris knows what kind of person he is, and I know he's loved by many in our little community. I believe that if you put good and kindness in the world, it will be returned to you.

Of course, Chris is not one to ask for help, so I'm asking for him.

He needs to rebuild his and his kids' entire lives, starting with a place to call home all the way to socks, food, and clothes for the kids.

If you know Chris, please chip in to get him on his feet. Even a little bit helps. Sharing this GoFundMe would also help tremendously.

Thank you in advance to all of those people whose hearts are big enough to put some good back into the world and help someone who desperately needs it.
