  • Brothers mean less drama, lots of love for only sister

    I would like to nominate two special people in my life, Ed and Ronnie Gabbert.
    These two men are two of the best role models anyone could ever look up to.

    They put God, family and friends first and are devoted husbands, fathers, papaws (Poppy) and brothers.
    They both also served in Vietnam. They would give you their shirt off their back if you asked. Well, they really would give it to you before you asked if they thought it would help. That is just how they roll!

  • Dry Ridge woman gives H.O.P.E.

    As soon as I saw this request, I knew just the perfect person who goes way beyond to help others.

    This lady spends hours and hours, day after day, getting people help and it’s not always someone in need of clothes and food, but in need of friendship and happiness they pass along to each family that enter H.O.P.E. I really am at a loss of words when it comes to describing how wonderful she makes others feel.
