‘Everything lost,' Texas dispatcher loses home to fire
MARSHALL, TX. (KTAL/KMSS) — East Texas dispatcher and mother of two says she lost everything after her home tragically burned down.
'Office said Kierra Wilbert has been a dedicated servant to our community, ensuring our safety and well-being as a dispatcher. Now, it's our turn to rally around her in this time of need,' according to the Harrison County, Marshall, Texas Sheriff (HCMTSO).
According to Wilbert's GoFundMe, on May 27, the fire department assessed the damage and deemed her home and everything in it a 'total loss.'
'This is very tragic as she is a very hardworking single mother who had just started her own business. Thankfully, she wasn't in the house, and her sons were at her mom's house. She is never one to ask for anything, but I am asking for help for her,' says the best friend and fundraiser organizer.
The Wilbert family needs monetary donations to help rebuild and provide clothes for her two sons. The fundraiser goal is $50,000.
Wilbert's workplace, HCMTSO, says they are working on ways to help Wilbert rebuild. Monetary donations can be made at Texas Bank & Trust(Marshall) in a donation account in Kierra Wilbert's name.
