It's been heartbreaking watching the wildfires in Sevier County, Gatlinburg, and Pigeon Forge, TN.  Gatlinburg was the place my husband and I got married just 2 years ago in a beautiful little wedding chapel nestled in the mountains. It's been a special place for the both of us. It's an even more special place to Dolly Parton who grew up in that area.  And she is giving back in a great way. 

To those families who have lost everything in the wildfires, Dolly Parton has set up the "My People Fund".  [Watch]

In a statement issued by Dolly Parton: (edited)

"To aid in their recovery effort, the Dollywood Foundation will provide $1,000 a month to all of those families who lost their homes in the fires for six months so that they can get back on their feet."

If you would like to help make a contribution to the My People Fund, please visit:    DollywoodFoundation.org.
