AMITE — After the Smitty’s Supply explosion left hundreds of workers without jobs, one local woman took it upon herself to bring her community together to help those affected.

Jasmine Sullivan, from Loranger and known online as Traveling Momma of 2, organized a fundraiser to support employees and their families.

“I feel like, especially like Louisiana, we just all come together in a time of need,” Sullivan said.

Sullivan explained that the idea for the fundraiser came after friends and family encouraged her to take action.

“I had a lot of friends and some family reach out and say, ‘Hey, you have the following. Do you think you could put something on to try to raise money?’ I said, ‘Absolutely. I knew they would be more than willing. So I was like, look, let's do this,’” she said.
