SUMMARY: Cole Began was diagnosed with kidney disease and congestive heart failure, requiring both a new heart and kidney. He has successfully received transplants, but his recovery continues. His daughter, Kayla Smith, highlights how the Scottsboro community has rallied around their family during this challenging time. Paul Began, known for his work at the Jackson County Courthouse, has received overwhelming support from coworkers, friends, and family, who organized a fundraiser featuring home-baked goods that raised thousands of dollars. While Cole has been released from Vanderbilt Medical Center, he will remain near Nashville for follow-up care, with another fundraising event planned.

As maintenance director, Gann is a familiar face to those who work at the courthouse. On Friday, co-workers, family and friends met there to celebrate Gann’s recovery so far, pray for the future, and find a way to help his family.
