BRATCHERS' MANAUS HOME VANDALIZED

Harold and Marie Bratcher received a call from Manaus on Saturday evening, 14 March, that their home in Manaus had been broken into, vandalized, and burglarized. Thieves took the front security gate off its hinges, broke into their home, and stole their refrigerator, kitchen range, clothes dryer, and other appliances and personal belongings which were loose. They also tore up doorways to get the appliances out of the house quickly and did other substantial damage and trashing to the house.

WILL YOU GIVE SOME SPECIAL OFFERINGS TO HELP THEM MAKE THE NECESSARY REPAIRS TO THEIR HOME AND REPLACE THEIR APPLIANCES? Designate your special offerings ‘BRATCHER NEEDS’ and we will know what it is for. We would like to help them get everything back in order before they return to Manaus in June.

THEY HAVE ALSO RECEIVED SUBSEQUENT REPORTS FROM MANAUS SINCE THEN THAT ADDITIONAL ACTS OF VANDALISM AND THIEVERY HAVE OCCURRED EVEN AFTER REPAIRS WERE MADE TO THEIR HOME TO TRY TO SECURE IT. There are also concerns for their safety even after they are able to return to Manaus in June to re-occupy the house.

Their current address is:
Harold and Marie Bratcher
104 Glass Avenue
Lexington KY 40505
859.389.8975
