BIG MAMA NEEDS OUR HELP!!!
The Bradley family, Igentry, Damita and Iiyala is a family of servants and devoted Midland community members that are in a great time of need after losing their home in a house fire. Having no insurance due to previous roofing issues has left them with no home, substantial repairs, and the neighborhood with a broken heart.
90 year old, Igentry, known as Big Mama to all those that love her, purchased the home in 1977 where she raised her 4 children, as well as a host of grand kids and great grand kids. Along with being a retired nurse at Midland Memorial, Big Mama is an amazing cook and opened her home to feed any and all and everyone wanted to be there because they felt at home. The home quickly became the place where everyone in the neighborhood was fed and neighbors and strangers could find a place to sleep when in need. Her love knew no limits and the stories of her outreach are endless.
Big Mama's daughter, Damita, retired from working at Midland Memorial in 2014 and is currently a daycare teacher at St. Luke's United Methodist Church blessing children with her love and infectious personality. She has raised her children in Midland and they serve the community in various ways, but in March she took on her newest challenge when she adopted Iiyala to prevent her from going into foster care.
4 year old, Iiyala Gorham, was adopted by Damita in March 2019. She is a precious, energetic ball of joy who loves her time in Pre-School and keeps Damita and Igentry young.
Please help this family who has given so much in their time of need.
At the current time, the expense to repair their house is conservatively estimated at $35,000, barring any overages. This does not include the extensive damage to furniture, clothes and other household items. We have set this as our goal in hopes of getting these wonderful ladies back in their home.
St. Luke's United Methodist Church has kindly set up an account to take donations in Damita Bradleys name, if you would like a tax deductible option.
