The sweetest, most caring couple, Farrel and Ricky, along with their 16-year-old granddaughter Madison, lost absolutely everything when the devastating fires in Mannford, Oklahoma, tore through their home on March 14, 2025.

With barely minutes to escape the approaching flames, they had only enough time to grab their beloved animals—2 dogs and 2 cats—throw on whatever clothes they could reach, and leave due to the seriousness and emergency evacuations in Mannford, Oklahoma. Everything else—a lifetime of possessions and memories collected over 50+ years—was reduced to ashes, literally. All gone...

Farrel and Ricky have spent decades building their life together. The home they made in Mannford contained everything they had worked so hard to acquire throughout their lives. Family photographs, keepsakes, furniture they saved for, mementos from special occasions—all gone in an instant. Their granddaughter Madison has lost all her belongings, clothing, furniture, school supplies, and cherished possessions as well.

The family is currently staying in temporary housing, but they need help to rebuild their lives. They have no clothes beyond what they were wearing, no toiletries, no furniture, no food—nothing. The emotional toll of losing irreplaceable family heirlooms and photographs is devastating enough without the added stress of financial uncertainty.
