Tracy James, a long-time Parks employee, lost his home and all belongings in a recent house fire when their Rhea County home burned to the ground. Thankfully, the family was gone and nobody was injured by the fire. The Red Cross is providing for the family for the rest of the week.
We're coordinating assistance for the family in three ways:
1: Cash donations
2: Gift Cards ( Wal-Mart, etc)
3: Clothing
- Granddaughter- size 3-12 months- Crib, changing table, toys, etc needed immediately!
- Men's- size 34/30 pants, size XL shirts and jackets, size 10.5 shoes
-Women's- size 14 pants, size, XL shirst and jackets, size 9 shoes
- 19 yr old daughter (petite)- size 11-13 pants, M-L tops and jackets, size 9 shoes
-16 yr old daughter (petite)- size 4-6 pants, size S-M tops and jackets, size 7.5 shoes
The house was insured, but it may be a while before they are able to re-establish a home. For this reason, we're postponing requests for furniture, appliances and furnishings.
