Dolly, your are that sweet little girl with a heart of gold. You can't do it alone.

The strength and love that Dolly showed us Gatlinburg locals is unbelievable. We love you, you are indeed the Queen of Sevier county. We lost our home but we had insurance unlike many others so we were ok. We had a storage unit full of furniture we didn’t need and found a local firefighter that lost his home while he fought to save other people’s homes. We were blessed to be able to help his family with that furniture. We leaned on each other like never before and we were better for it.

We Love you Dolly!

Kim, I'm actually on the phone with a friend right now, and these fires came up in conversation. I was just rolling my friend the exact same thing you commented. Dolly came across as she was donating all this money to help and then launched an all-out fundraising campaign to fund it. The while thing came across very deceptively and the numbers never added up as you mentioned. Still angers me til this day.

I was affected by the fires and was taken care off and so were many others The 1k was minimum along with national disaster unemployment so another 1k with that If you could show proof of assets and property you could get up to 5k a month We were taken care of that's all that matters Dolly is an angel I'll never forget that phone call Cause the unemployment was great but not enough to get by I cried and I'm a A hole
