Help Ashley's Family Rebuild After Tornado
Donation protected
Hello, my name is Jackie Tuma. On May 26,2024 tornados struck Rogers, Ar. I am starting this GoFundMe to assist my co-worker, Ashley Taylor and her family, Chris
Barrentine, Princeton, Milky Way and Little Boy, that lost their home in the storm. Ashley has worked at Spa Botanica in Rogers for over 8 years. I have known Ashley for the entire time and can testify of her strong character and work ethic. She has also shown me over the years of her willingness to help others, even donating her previous 5th wheel to a local family in need. In addition to losing her home, Ashley just underwent shoulder surgery for the second time in 6 months due to an error on the part of the first surgeon. She was recovering when the tornado hit and she and her family have been left homeless. They have stayed in hotels until but as they also have 3 dogs and hotels are not ideal for pets.
We have removed all the personal items from their home to a storage unit but the trees remain on top of the 5th wheel they called home making it completely unlivable and unsafe at this point. The land owner/landlord refuses to do anything to help any of their tenants. Ashley is seeking the advice of attorneys at this point.
Friends and family have been helping them care for their 3 fur babies but the situation is very sad at this point. Ashley has been unable to work due to her shoulder surgery and her partner Chris has been working as much as possible. Their situation was working until the tornado dealt them a huge sucker punch and have knocked them off their feet.
If anyone can help by contributing to this GoFundMe they would greatly appreciate your generosity. The funds would be used to secure available housing, possibly another camper.
