Help the Hardy-Ragland Family Rebuild After Devastating Fire

A Message from the Hardy-Ragland Family:

My parents and I were deeply impacted by a tragic fire that occurred in Springfield on Friday, December 27th, just one day after Christmas. The fire completely destroyed our home, leaving us with nothing. We lost all our belongings, including vital medical supplies, work equipment, and cherished family photos. The heartbreak is compounded by the loss of our beloved family pets, one of which did not survive and the other we had to surrender.

While we are profoundly grateful that everyone escaped safely, grieving the loss of our home and the life we had built there. This devastating event has placed us in an incredibly challenging financial position, as several family members are currently between jobs.

This tragedy comes during what has already been an exceptionally difficult year, marked by severe medical crises and the heartbreaking loss of beloved family members.

We are humbly asking for your prayers and support during this challenging time. Any contribution, big or small, will make a tremendous difference in helping us rebuild our lives. Donations will go toward immediate essentials such as groceries, clothing, hygiene items, medications, and temporary accommodations. Longer term, we hope to save for first, last, and security deposits for a new home where we can begin to heal and start anew.

Even if you are unable to give financially, your prayers and kind words mean the world to us. Thank you for standing with us in this time of unimaginable loss and helping us take the first steps toward rebuilding.

With gratitude,

The Hardy-Ragland Family
