Let me set you straight. All the sites on The lake are max 14 day stay. All those other sites you can stay as long as you like. And FYI those full timers are better than the park staying empty. That is providing some revenue for the county. Now , why don’t you rally together and help this poor soul out. He is retired and just trying to enjoy his life. He is having a run of bad luck. No doubt. Good grief. Let me set you straight. All the sites on The lake are max 14 day stay. All those other sites you can stay as long as you like.

I believe in one article I read that he was once the caretaker for Lake Stone for years. Until he got to old to do so, at that point he just stuck around as he considered it his residence(his home).Now at 80 it may be hard to just up and relocate.Maybe he was allowed to stay on because of who he is or was(caretaker). Maybe thats why he is considered exempt from that law about 14 days ONLY ...Okay ....and your welcome for the SCHOOL, I just gave you!

A lot of seniors live in campers. If you are on a fixed income it is difficult to come up with apartment deposit + last month rent + current month rent. You are talking way over a $1,000. Some people like living where they can appreciate the out doors. I would not want to live in a complex where people yell all of the time, kids running around unsupervised, police visit numerous times for a variety of reasons, loud music. Just saying, some are not as fortunate as others. Or some prefer solitude. Extremely unfortunate and I hope authorities figure out what is going on. Some of you obviously have no compassion.

I am moving in a month or so and I'm literally not taking much of my overflowing "things" where I'm moving to. Can you direct me if you know how I can donate to him? I live in Molino. Thank you for your help. My dad passed away at 80 and my heart goes out to this fella thinking of my dad. He would have been first onscene to offer help in all ways. It's my turn now ☺ Thank you.

And it is cheaper to stay there. Maybe he has no family anywhere. Maybe he has had bad luck. Seems like some of you want to add to it! Call the county on him, you have a place to stay, so who cares about him? Why not help instead of hurt or at least keep quiet! Maybe this gentleman has friends that see about him there!

I agree it's peculiar for it happen to same person in such a short period of time but he's lost everything nonetheless. Northescambia, please update if donation information becomes available. Looks to me like the man doesn't even have a toothbrush left! If anyone has ever endured the pain of losing everything in a fire then you understand the heartbreak.
