Donations are being accepted on behalf of a DeKalb County family who lost their home near Alexandria and all belongings in a fire Sunday, Aug. 20. The fire started about an hour after the family had departed for church.

“I will be eternally grateful to God that my family is safe and uninjured. However, to rebuild our home, we need as many prayers and help as possible. I am grateful for any help you can provide,” said Kim Hale.

An account in the name of Robert Nathan Hale has also been opened at Wilson Bank & Trust in Alexandria to receive donations under the name of Robert Hale.

 “We have rented a storage unit today if anyone asks about giving household type items,” Hale said. “I can be contacted by sending a message to this email or by texting me at 615-580-0912. Since we are rebuilding on our land, we'd even appreciate Lowe's or home Depot gift cards.”
