Help the Barker Family recover from Home on Fire

Donation protected
On New Year's Eve, (December 31, 2019) a fire broke out in the home of Luke Barker in Sheridan, IN. The firefighters arrived on the scene quickly, but had difficulty in battling the blaze due to high winds. The fire lasted 5 hours and did a considerable amount of damage.

Fortunately, no one was injured as Luke's wife and 3 children made it out of the home safely. Unfortunately, the Barker Family lost almost everything.  Luke and his wife managed to salvage some clothes, a dresser, dishes and a table... but everything else is damaged or destroyed. The Barker's did not have renter's insurance and they are in need of help. 

We are trying to raise $5000 for Luke and his family to help them:

> Get new furniture: 4 beds (queen and 3 twins), dresser, couch, etc.
> Miscellaneous items: bedding, pillows, towels, etc.
> Find a new home: deposits, set up fees, etc.

The Barkers are currently staying with family and are looking for a new place to call home. Luke works as a foreman with Maddox Industrial Group in Indianapolis and is also working to rebuild what his family has just loss.  Please consider giving to this family to help turn their New Year around!
