On June 19, 2021, a tragic multi-vehicle crash on I-65 in Butler County claimed the lives of 10 people, including nine children.
Eight of the children killed were affiliated with the Tallapoosa County Girls Ranch, a nonprofit organization that provides a home for neglected or abused school-aged children.
“People on the scene at the accident were able to get Candice out of the van and they were going back for some of the children, the young people, when the explosion happened,” Smith said. The ranch has collected over half a million dollars on GoFundMe in donations, money Michael says will help further their mission to provide a loving Christian home for children in need.“Next week, we’ll be taking the first three young men at the St. Clair County ranch, that will be their home,” Smith said.
If you would like to support the ranch, there will be a charity golf tournament held on August 9 at Robert Trent Jones-Grand National in Opelika, in honor of the eight young lives lost.
