Help Son Gary Gatlinburg Fire

Donation protected
Hello.
My name is Robert Stafford, I am the old guy on the left in the picture above.
My Son, Gary has worked in Gatlinburg TN. for the last 20 years. He worked
for the merchants in the tourist industry there. Last weekend he was a victim of the terrible fire which virtually wiped out Gatlinburg.

He has lived in the same apartment building for the last 15 years. When the fire came roaring down from the mountain, fueled by 40 mph winds, it spread
so quickly that people had to flee for their very lives. One of his close friends didn't make it out. Gary had to leave with just the clothes on his back and a
few important papers. He is a talented artist, all of his art and supplies were lost. The apartment building was totally destroyed.

Due to the low wages in the tourist trade he had to cut corners. Ununfortunately one of the things he cut was renter's insurance. Needless to say he lost everything.

The obvious question is why doesn't Dad help him? I will help him,  but due to some unfortunate events, I have outlived my retirement nest egg.
I am on Social Security and a small part time job. I am 78 years old.

Anything you can do to help Gary would be greatly appreciated. He needs the funds as soon as possible
to replace the household items and art supplies he lost.

Sincerely,
Robert Stafford
