A couple who lost it all in a recent fire is asking the community’s help in getting back on their feet.
Kimberly and Nathan Hale from Lower Helton Road in Alexandria, were able to flee the fire with their lives but were unable to salvage many of their belongings.

“We lost our fifth wheel camper we’ve been living in since August (when our three bedroom house burned while we were at church,” Mrs. Hale said. “Thursday night, Feb. 22, a fire started close to the electrical panel in the camper. My husband, myself and our dogs got out and 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.”

With Mr. Hale having to exit the residence to avoid being consumed by the fire, he had to leave behind all the money they had.

 “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,” she explained. “See my husband is disabled and we’ve been waiting for two years for a determination for his disability claim.”
