Many of you know Dexter and Amelia Bumgarner, Dexter is 77 years young. He is a tough competitor. He was very active in rimfire benchrest for years and currently shoots as many UBR matches as he can usually two or three a month
Dexter and Amelia need the shooting communities help.
They have lost all their belongings in this terrible flood event last week. The flood waters were up above the tops of the windows of their home. All of the personal belongings are destroyed, furniture and clothing family photos. Dexters work shop with his lathe, bullet making presses and supplies along with all of his powder was flooded washed away or covered in flood waters and mud
They have lost everything
Those of us in the Benchrest community know and love Dexter and Amelia.
Please help!

Thank you guys for all the support so far
We found a place for them to rent and moved some basic things in today

still a long way to go FEMA says 7 weeks to 7 years for any assistance

If you can, please think of giving some to help them
 
Dexter and Amelia sound like good people, losing everything at any age but especially at that age is a nightmare. Hopefully they get some help…..!

This storm may be the single worst storm I’ve ever seen. The pictures and amount of people that affected that I’m seeing speak volumes. Heartbreaking.

Thank you, Jimmy for the bump

I wanted to ask all of you who read this and have supported Dexter and Amelia and those who have read this and are trying to think of a way to help.
Please share this need and the link https://gofund.me/ae696a89 to the folks on your other social platforms.
I am not on any other sites, and I am not the most computer savvy guy
So, Please share this need with all of your shooting buddies
They have a long row to hoe

Thank you again for all the support so far
Tim
