Help with fire recovery efforts
As many of you probably have heard, Landmark Park suffered a devastating fire on June 11, 2010 that totally destroyed our maintenance building and shop. At this time we are still unsure what caused the fire. We lost all tools and equipment, including three tractors (two were antiques), a gravity flow wagon for storing corn and a Bobcat-style skid steer loader. On behalf of the Board of Directors of Dothan Landmarks Foundation, we want to thank the Dothan Fire Department for their quick response and professionalism in handling the fire. Thanks to their efforts, the fire was confined to the maintenance area at Landmark Park. The park has remained open for business, providing quality educational programming and family fun. Even with our insurance coverage, we will need the community to assist us in rebuilding and replacing the assets necessary to take care of our 130 acre facility. Below is a wish list of items Landmark Park needs to maintain the property. You may bring items to Landmark Park if you would like to donate. Or, visitors may make a monetary donation. All donations, no matter how large or small, are tax deductible. With your help, Landmark Park will quickly recover from this unfortunate occurrence. Power Tools & auger (2 man), chop saw (pipe), impact wrench, log splitter, pressure washer, welder, shop vac. Hand Tools hoe, hedge lopers, drill bits, mattock, pitchforks, splitting maul, shovel, trench (4"), pipe wrench, wood chisels. Equipment chain hoist, cutting torch, cutting torch dolly, shop fan, floor jack, portable generator. Other extension cords (heavy duty), hog panels, ice chests, propane tanks, shop tables, rolling tool chest, wash tubs- galvanized, portable air tank, 3/8" chain , rachet tie-down straps, chain binder. |

March 2010 Here is a little background information. My daughter, Miranda, is twelve
years old. In late March of 2009 she hurt her back during PE at school.
Coupled with the pain in her back, she had been fighting a battle with
an on again off again fever. At this point we had only been seen by
her doctor on Ft. Rucker. And on April 2nd, she referred us to Dr. Lolley
at Southern Bone and Joint in Dothan. He ordered an MRI and found that
she had fractured the T7 and T8 disks in her back. He also ordered the
blood work to figure out why she had the fever when she had no cold,
flu, strep or ear infection symptoms. This is when we found that Miranda
had no immune system to speak of - all of her blood counts were dangerously
low. This said, Dr. Lolley instructed us to take Miranda to the ER at
S.E. AL Medical Center, where she was immediately admitted. On April
3rd, the very next day, we were in an ambulance for transport to Children's
Hospital in Birmingham. On April 7th we were informed our precious little
girl had some form of Leukemia - the type was yet to be determined.
We were later told she had Acute Lymphocytic Leukemia or ALL - it was
in her blood, bone marrow, and spinal fluids. Miranda has been undergoing
chemo treatments at Children's every week since. It will be one year
since her diagnosis on April 7th and during this time she has spent
approximately 26 weeks inpatient. She has had numerous blood and platelet
transfusions, surgeries, bone marrow - you name it! She is a tough little
girl! The weekly trips are very taxing on our family finances. A donation
account for my daughter is a family account at Army Aviation Center
Federal Credit Union, so donations can be made to Miranda, Adam, or
Belinda Hughes. We opened the account at the branch on Highway 231 in
Ozark - if that makes a difference. |
