As the fires continue in the Great Smoky Mountains, Dolly Parton is starting the "My People Fund" to give a "hand up" to displaced families. This unfolding tragedy hits close to home for Dolly, who is from that area, and still calls it home.

If you would like to donate to the "My People Fund", starting tomorrow, you can donate by clicking here.

Our thoughts and prayers continue to go to the families, and Emergency Workers still battling the heavy fires in Gatlinburg, that have spread to other parts of the Smoky Mountains.
