Meet the Keener Family\u2026<\/h4>\n
Also, thanks to the help of Hip2Save reader volunteer Tina in Calhoun County, Alabama, we are honored to introduce another one of our sponsored families in Alabama, the Keener Family. The Keener family consists of dad, mom, girl (almost 8), boy (age 5), and boy (age 4). As you can see from the pictures above, the Keener family lost their entire home and husband\u2019s truck and their lawnmower and bikes for the kids were stolen. Until recently, they were living in a tent on their property to avoid further looting but have now moved into a relative\u2019s older home with bare necessities only.<\/p>\n
