On August 14th, a wildfire engulfed the Mt. Carmel Cutoff Road area in Florien, resulting in the complete loss of a home owned by Charles & Connie Jackson. The blaze moved with such intensity that their home was reduced to ashes within a matter of hours. Tragically, they lost everything they owned, including cherished belongings accumulated over the years. Unfortunately, Charles and Connie had recently let their homeowners insurance go, so the burden is even greater on them.
The community of Florien and surrounding areas have rallied around the Jacksons in their time of need, offering support, condolences, and assistance. Many businesses, organizations, and individuals have initiated fundraisers and donation drives to help the couple begin the process of rebuilding their lives.
The Jackson family would like to express their heartfelt gratitude to everyone who has help them during this challenging time.
