In Support of Bob & Marianne Shackleford

Hi everyone, thank you for taking a moment to hear about Bob and Marianne Shackleford. Your support means everything as we help them in this challenging time.

There are some things in life you never imagine having to do. Sharing your parents' story and accepting help on their behalf is one of them. In a matter of hours, the flooding took away almost everything my parents owned. The home they lived in for more than 30 years—the place where they raised their family, celebrated birthdays and holidays, welcomed grandchildren, and built a lifetime of memories—is no longer a place they can return to. Nearly everything was gone, though by some miracle, we were able to salvage a few sentimental items. We are carefully drying those keepsakes, hoping to preserve the irreplaceable pieces of their story.

Asking for help has never come naturally to my parents, but their faith and perspective amid this loss have been remarkable. They have made peace with not returning to their old home and are searching for the place they will call home next. Your generosity will aid them in replacing everyday essentials and rebuilding their lives. If you feel led to help, we've outlined ways to support them below.
