After losing their home and all belongings in an August fire, tragedy has struck the Nathan and Kimberly Hale family again.
The 5th wheel camper of the Hale’s who live on Lower Helton Road, Alexandria was destroyed by fire Thursday night, February 22. The family had been living in the camper since the loss of their three bedroom home at 5093 Lower Helton Road in August. The first fire occurred while the Hale’s were away to attend a church service in Carthage.
The Hale’s are asking for help from the community to get them back on their feet.
“On Thursday night February 22, a fire started close to the electrical panel in the camper. My husband, myself and our dogs got out and we managed to save most of our medications and my insulin; however, when Nathan tried to go back in to get his wallet and important papers, the roof started falling in on him. In his wallet was every bit of money we had put away that our church helped raise in hopes of being able to buy a vehicle, $600 cash. My husband is disabled and we’ve been waiting for 2 years for a determination for his disability claim,” said Mrs. Hale.
“I have set up a gofundme link (www.gofundme.com/kim-nathanhale). We also have a checking account at Wilson Bank and Trust in my husband’s name, Robert Nathan Hale, and donations can also be sent through PayPal using my email address kimberlyhale011317@gmail.com.” said Mrs. Hale.
“Thank you in advance for your help. God bless you.” she concluded.
