Huntington, Utah: A town of HOPE.
This HOPE crazy quilt is on it’s way to Mayor Hilary Gordon in Huntington, Utah. This small town received another blow yesterday evening when the mine had a “bump” of seismic activity that killed 3 miners and sent 6 more to hospitals. These miners were part of the rescue effort to reach the 6 miners trapped in the mine for over a week now.
“PRAY 4 OUR 6”
Utah flags are at 1/2-staff today in honor of the 3 men who died last night.
Huntington is a community holding on to hope.
