Help Ugandan Orphans Thrive!

<div>Hi, my name is Bart Williams with SD Heavy Haul Trucking company. One of my drivers, Dennis Palmer, just lost his two boys and his wife in a car accident on 109 in Davidson County NC. Trying to help him raise funds to bury his family found out he has no insurance and is going to be very hard and expensive for him to bury all 3 family members. I’m going to make this fundraiser in hopes of my friends and anyone who wants to help thank you for your support.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>

</div>
<div>Update from Tammy: Your generous donations will support Dennis while he grieves for unplanned expenses and the remaining funds will be used to keep their memories alive through scholarships and more.

Driver lost his whole family in car wreck on 109

<div>We are still processing what has happened and are absolutely devastated in losing Chris. No one that young deserves this. He leaves behind a wife, my sister, &amp; their two daughters. No one wants to imagine times like these will ever happen to them but looking forward in days to come, his family will be desperately in need of financial help. Chris did not have life insurance and was the sole bread winner of the family. The girls are home schooled as well. There will be medical bills, funeral costs, mortgage and normal everyday bills for my sister to take on. Any and all help is appreciated. Thank you to all who prayed for him. We’re all in need of prayer now.

Help fund Chris Frady memorial

On April 13, 2021, tragedy struck a family within our community when Adrian and Jennifer Craven were involved in a horrific car accident that resulted in the death of Adrian. Miraculously, Jennifer survived and is currently in the hospital being treated for her injuries. Jennifer will be undergoing surgery and will have a long road to recovery. Adrian and Jennifer have 3 sons, Adrian, Saafir, and Kahleb. Their youngest son, Kahleb, is a senior at Oak Grove High School, where he is an integral part of the Grizzly football and basketball teams.<br /><br />We are asking that our community rally around this family during this unimaginably difficult time. We would like to help them offset some of the financial burdens they will encounter in the days and weeks to come. All funds raised will be given directly to the family to assist them with funeral costs, medical bills, and other family expenses that may arise.

Meet the Dill Family: Jason, Amber, Caroline, Sophia, and Ellie <br /><br /><img src="https://d2g8igdw686xgo.cloudfront.net/39737242_1559797190980807_r.jpeg" alt="39737242_1559797190980807_r.jpeg" width="100%" media_type="3" /><br />Jason and Amber Dill began fostering children five years ago. They saw a great need in their community and beyond for assistance to children of families in crisis. Their purpose for fostering children was their desire and calling to provide a safe, stable, nurturing, and loving home for children in crisis until the children could be safely reunited with their biological family.<br /><br />Meet Ellie: <br /><br /><img src="https://d2g8igdw686xgo.cloudfront.net/39737242_1559797521879310_r.jpeg" alt="39737242_1559797521879310_r.jpeg" width="100%" media_type="3" />￼ <br />Ellie is a beautiful, bubbly, full of personality, three year old who has lived with Jason and Amber and their two biological children Caroline and Sophia since the day she left the hospital after birth. As far as Ellie is concerned, if you ask her, she will tell you, Jason is her daddy, Amber is her mommy, and she has two big sisters Caroline and Sophia. She has never known another family. Jason, Amber, Caroline, and Sophia are her family and she adores them as they do her.<br /><br /><img src="https://d2g8igdw686xgo.cloudfront.net/39737242_155979724122799_r.jpeg" alt="39737242_155979724122799_r.jpeg" width="100%" media_type="3" /><br />Their Journey: <br /><br />Nearly four years ago Jason and Amber received a call from DSS informing them that a new born baby girl was in need of foster care. Jason and Amber were already fostering a toddler and Caroline and Sophia were still small as well. They were very aware that fostering a newborn, as well as a toddler, and caring for two young children of their own would be a handful. They had very little information, but they knew a newborn baby girl needed their help until she could be reunited with her family, reunification being the goal.  Although they were not aware of it at the time, their wonderful journey with this little one had just begun. <br /><br /><img src="https://d2g8igdw686xgo.cloudfront.net/39737242_155979729882347_r.jpeg" alt="39737242_155979729882347_r.jpeg" width="100%" media_type="3" /><br />Jason and Amber were granted guardianship of Ellie in 2017 after reunification efforts were exhausted. They are now seeking adoption privately. They have been facing a mountain of unexpected legal fees for some time and have had and will continue to have multiple days of missed work for hearings and legal proceedings. They are currently facing a very urgent financial need for additional legal expenses. They have made as many personal financial sacrifices as their family has been able to make in order to care for and adopt Ellie. However, the current financial need is still greater than what is available. ￼￼<br /><br /><img src="https://d2g8igdw686xgo.cloudfront.net/39737242_1559797348534558_r.jpeg" alt="39737242_1559797348534558_r.jpeg" width="100%" media_type="3" /><br /><img src="https://d2g8igdw686xgo.cloudfront.net/39737242_1559797372781091_r.jpeg" alt="39737242_1559797372781091_r.jpeg" width="100%" media_type="3" /><br />Jason, Amber, and Ellie’s current need: <br /><br />$2500 – will go toward a partial retainer fee for a new attorney – this is due by June 14, 2019. <br /><br />$2500 – will go toward the retainer balance which will be due not long after. <br /><br />$5000 – will go toward what is now expected to be future legal costs <br /><br />Donations for paid legal expenses which have already placed a heavy financial strain on this wonderful family will also be greatly appreciated. <br /><br />My goal in sponsoring this campaign is to ease the financial burden on this family, lift the financial stress they are currently under with an urgent need due by June 14th, and ensure they have the funds needed to keep moving forward with Ellie’s adoption process. I also want to encourage others to join in their cause by becoming a foster parent/family.  <br /><br />My name is Teresa. I am Jason’s sister, Amber's sister in law, and  Caroline, Sophia, and Ellie are my beautiful nieces.  <br /><br />Your donation will make an eternal impact on this family’s life. Thank you in advance for your caring and support. It is greatly appreciated. May God bless you.<br /><br />If you would like more information on becoming a foster parent/family, please contact your local Department of Social Services. There are currently 400,000 children in the US who do not have permanent families. <br /><br />With all my heart, on behalf of Ellie and the Dill Family,  thank you for your generous donation. <br /><br />Teresa Loy

Support Ellie's Journey With The Dill Family

Micaiah Noel Hairston was a healthy normal 11 year old, but the week before Thanksgiving Micaiah face started drooping on the left side and started having trouble with walking. We took her to the ER and found out that she has a lesion in the thalamus part of her brain. She done had two brain biopsy, 2 lumbar punctures, 4 MRIs, a couple of CT scans and a host of other test and procedures trying to found out the problem. She is in the acute unit at Brenner Children's Hospital and they do not have a clue to what is wrong with her. I’m asking for help! Her dad and I work but as some may know you don’t get paid for FMLA.  As for  myself I have a descent job at Hospice of the Piedmont but unfortunately I have not been there long enough to get FMLA and  not sure if my job will still be available to me after being out some much. Brenner Children's Hospital is going to transfer her to Duke so hopefully we can get more answers and if not they’re going to transfer her out of state. I’m asking for help because her father and I are running out of options to how we are going to cover the cost along with having 3 other children.This has been very hard on us to not knowing what is wrong with our child, so if you guys can please help us out because this has been a long 9 weeks. If you can’t help monetary please keep her in prayer!<br />Thank you, very concerned parents

She is absolutely the most selfless person I know. <br /><br /><strong>We have recently found out she is facing a very serious and aggressive cancer in her colon and liver. She was diagnosed a month ago and sadly is in the final stage of this monster disease.</strong>  <br /><br />Most of you know when my little sister passed away in 2012 she and Mike took over caring for her 2 children, Kaleb is 15 and Alexa is 13, without hesitation.  My mom has worked hard her entire life for my family and to help everyone she could. Mom has never done anything for herself for as long as I can remember. Both mom and Mike have worked every day since my sister passed without any time for themselves. I think it's time to show her how much we love and appreciate her for being there for us! <br /><br /><strong>For as long as I could remember her dream was to visit Pearl Harbor and I'd love for all of us to give her that gift. If she's ever invited you to eat a Thanksgiving dinner or helped you in any way this is your chance to give back a little. </strong><br /><br /> <strong>The trip in total is $6000.00 </strong><br /><br />I (Kristi Underwood) am giving $500 towards the trip as cash. If you can chip in it would mean the world to me and I know she will be overwhelmed with love if we can make this happen for her. Due to the severity of the situation we don't have a lot of time to meet this goal unfortunately. For those of you who love her and just can't help monetarily I am asking for your relentless prayers please. We need a miracle!<br /><br />Thanks y'all! Lets make this happen!!<br /><br />~Kristi
