Brad underwood tells us about an organization helping people get back on their feat. Four fires in madisonville have left families with little or nothing to show of life before the fires. For doctor lewis and Jeffrey Goswick they were close to being settled in their home and now theyre lost. Little by little he said the stuff we plan managed to save ask a small circle of items on the floor of a garage. The two were left with nothing and nowhere to go or at least thats what they thought. Out of town at the time of the fire the two got a call breaking the news. We got a message from neighbor who just said would you like someone to be there for you . You know i thought that was some horrible it was going to be but that turned out to be one of the members of madisonville cares committee. Madisonville cares help people in crisis navigate their way back. These are our neighbors and theyre going to continue to be our neighbors and so were really here to help our neighbors. Get their lives back together. And in just 11 days lewis and goswick are feeling stable again. A neighbor provided a rental house. A neighbor provided food. A neighborhood is doing its part. Neighbors just say here you go. Heres a lamp that you might need. Heres some chairs that you might need. Its been overwhelming and we appreciate it so much. Lewis says without madisonville cares and the people of madisonville they might have had to move to indiana indiana and live with family.
