(FOX Carolina) - Honda dealerships in the Carolinas are teaming up with the U.S. Marine Corps Reserve for the 12th year in a row, all for a good cause! The Honda Dealers of the Carolinas Association are partnering with the Marines to fill up vehicles with toys for the Toys for Tots Foundation. Anyone can stop by their local Honda dealer from November 9 through December 12 to donate any new, unwrapped toy to fill up the vehicle. The association represents 55 dealers in both Carolinas, along with one dealer in Georgia. The goal of the partnership is to give as many toys to Toys for Tots as possible, which will then be given to kids who are less fortunate.

Retired Marine, fiance trying to navigate path forward after boat they had called home for more than a year sank in Lake Hartwell
on December 4, 2020 at 10:21 pm
HARTWELL, GA (FOX Carolina) – A retired US Marine and his fiancé are trying to put together a path forward after the boat they had called home for more than a year sank in Lake Hartwell this week. Stephen Forrester said he had been gone for a few hours running errands. When he returned to his houseboat, he said something just felt off. Within an hour, his home for the past 14 months was completely underwater. Forrester said he knew something was wrong when he stepped aboard. “When I walked inside, it felt like I was walking downhill,” he said. A few minutes later, he realized his engine compartments were underwater. Less than a minute later, the water was already up to his knees. So, he called the marina manager, who sent over a crew with pumps to help. But he and the pump crew quickly saw that they were fighting a losing battle. “For every gallon we pumped out, it seemed like 50 more were coming in,” Forrester said. Forrester said he was able to get his dogs to safety and retrieve a safe that contained a lock of hair belonging to his fiance’s late daughter, who passed away at a young age. But all of their other possessions went down with the boat, including an item that was dear to him: his Marine Corps ring. “I thought it was lost for good,” Forrester said of the ring. However, dive teams that came out to lift the boat on Friday were able to locate it. Forrester said family members are helping them, and some crowdfunding efforts have ben launched, but it is costing about $14,000 just to get the boat back to land, leaving Forrester and his fiancé charting uncertain waters. <a href="https://www.gofundme.com/f/my-sister039s-houseboat-sank-and-they-lostevery?utm_source=customer&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=p_cp+share-sheet" target="_blank">You can donate at this link.</a>
