COLUMBIA, S.C. — Out of great evil has come good was the theme of a gathering Thursday to announce a foundation to help the Hampton County’s needy at Christmas time.
The foundation, called “Gloria’s Gift,” will be funded with part of the $7 million-plus the Satterfield family — the first known financial victims of disgraced lawyer Alex Murdaugh — has gotten in legal settlements from various parties alleged to have helped Murdaugh carry out his alleged fraud schemes to fleece clients and others over a 12-year period.
“The Bible says, ‘Whatever things Satan as meant for evil, ... God will use for good,” said the Rev. Brian Hunter of Sandy Run Baptist Church. He was one of a dozen speakers at the event in downtown Hampton at the historic 75-year-old Palmetto Theater on the town’s main street.
