Wanting to brag on a small town

Post by swamp mama »

To those of you who have attended our state hunts,there is a special lady who helps my mom in the kitchen with the cooking. Those who know her call her "Box". She doesnt mind jumping up at 3:00am to help with cooking and anything else that needs done. She likes helping and being there to tease and joke around with everybody.
On March 18, lightning struck her trailer at 4:00am and it caught on fire. It was only by the hand of God that she woke up in time to get out. She had no insurance and lost everything.
Today our beagle club, neighbors, and friends and family held a fundraising dinner and silent auction to raise money for her a new home. We had several beaglers from other clubs that donated money and some of our own sold puppies and donated the money from the sales to her.
We raised $4,000 today. :dance:
I told her the morning that we stood and watched the firefighters trying to save her home,that God would make a way and she lived in a small town that helped to take care of its own. I am proud to say that today my community proved me right. :angel:

:D That is great that people helped out. She sounds like a nice lady for that many to rally in her support.
