Dear friends, family, Cumberland Hardware customers, and community,
My name is Charity Prater, daughter of John and Shelia.
Many of you have been so kind in reaching out and asking how you can help support them during this time. Because of that, I am sharing a Venmo QR code for anyone who feels led to give. Please know that no amount is too small. Whether through a financial donation, sharing the Venmo QR code, or simply keeping our family in your prayers, every act of kindness is greatly appreciated. Your generosity will help ease the burden of medical expenses, household costs, and lost income while giving my father the time and peace needed for healing and recovery.
Most importantly, we ask for your continued prayers—for strength, peace, wisdom for the medical team, and complete healing for my father in the days ahead.
From the bottom of our hearts, thank you for standing beside John and Shelia during this incredibly difficult time. Our family will never forget the kindness, prayers, generosity, and support extended to them during this journey.
With love and gratitude,
Charity Prater
