Dolly Parton has announced plans to donate $1,000 per month to every family who lost their home in the wildfires sweeping through the Smoky Mountains of Tennessee. The country music icon is helping the homeless families in need with the monthly donation for six months, until they get back on their feet.
Parton will make the donations through her Dollywood Foundation, reports the Knoxville News Sentinel, noting that the foundation plans to make more information available on Friday. According to the newspaper, more than 150 homes and businesses in Gatlinburg, Tennessee, have been destroyed.

From what the news said it is just those who lost homes. Many just lost jobs. My sis, her husband are closer to 60 will have a hard time finding jobs, he has advanced MD nearly ready for a wheel chair, niece also worked for the same Resort Westgate, which is a pile of ashes. He drove a golf cart to shuttle the employees to and from their parking lot only reason he can still work.
