"Western Union" is a :eek: VERY EXPENSIVE way to send money!!
They charge a very high "service fee"!!
Better ways to send money are:
* Write her a personal check and snail-mail it
* Go to the US Post Office and purchase a Postal Money Order;
. . then snail-mail it ~ way cheaper than Western Union; and most
. . stores and service vendors accept them just like "cash".

OMG, I don't know what to say, I'm sorry, just doesn't seem enough at a time like this, but right now that's all I can say.
Willie, I am so so sorry, hugs and prayers are with you ever second of the day.
I can not even imagine what she must be feeling right now, sure put things in a different perspective for me and my little sorrows
If there ever was a time for PT to get together, this is it. I'm in on the Wal-mart card or else if you know her paypal account, let me know. I remember her telling me once she had one. Seem a faster way to get money to her, so she can get what she needs, sooner. Also Please pm me her address, if you can, I have something special, I'd really like to send her.
So much grief going on in this sweet ladies life and she doesn't even deserve it. Please Kim, if you speak to Willie again let her know that i'm thinking of her. I'd really like to contribute somehow and i'll try to see if I can.
:( :( I have no words to say....this is just so sad and my heart goes out to you Willie. Thank God you are all safe.
I've just called my local Wal-Mart and the gift cards I buy here can't be used in the States. :( We don't have Target stores here either. Is there another store or perhaps I should just send a cheque. :confused:
I have a nephew who is 14 and skinny as a rail. He blew past 12 Slim sometime in the not-too-distant past, and my brother (not Lady's Human, my other brother, owned by a husky/lab mix and a couple cats) is going to see if there are clothes hanging around that would fit or even be a bit big for Willie's grandson.
You can always just send a personal check made out to Willie. I can't believe we're even all talking about this tragedy, it just seems so surreal. I can't even imagine what Willie and her family are feeling. :(Quote:

Oh my Dear Lord. :(:( Hugs and Prayers to Willie. (Kim I PM'd you).
You can order WALMART gift certificates online at:

They are available in many denominations. Check it out.

Can I make a suggestion, I think a money order might just be better, this way she doesn't have to wait for it to clear. Some checks can take up to 10 days to clear and I would think, she might want things as soon as she can. Just a thought to keep in mind.Quote:

Thats kind of why I was thinking, the paypal account, I could have money to her as soon as today. Sense she can get on-line at her daughters, she can just transfer it to her account from there.
I just don't know what to say. With so many tragedies going on, my words begin to feel empty and repetitive to me. I am so incredibly sorry, but very thankful that no one was hurt. Willie will be in my prayers. I wish there were more adequate words to say :(
How awful! :( Thank goodness everyone is safe. Willie, you and your family will be in my thoughts and prayers.

Yes you are right FG. I can go to the bank and purchase a US money order. I have obtained Willie's address so will try to get it mailed off to her this week.
Willie, as always you remain in my thoughts and prayers.
The prayers are coming and will continue. Where do I send a check?
momcat, and anyone else wanting her address ... PM me and I will give it to you!
THANKS so much! Next time I speak with Willie, I will ask about the Paypal thing!;)
Kim
Kim do you know if the house was insured or are they in for a harder battle getting a new place built?
Is there a preference between a Target, a Walmart or (D-in-Law suggested) a grocery gift card? Which place is more convenient? I'm putting a box of misc. stuff together as we speak (a few books, some silly stuff, a few "generic" T-shirts etc) and will send it off by the weekend. Are the rest of the furkids OK for the time being? :(
What a horrible thing to happen to such a sweet person!! Sometimes life seems so unfair, doesn't it. I would like to send something to help as well so if someone could PM me an address I would appreciate it. My SIL's house burned to the ground many years ago (furnace blew up) and her dog was inside the house. :( Thankfully no one (hurman or furry) was injured. We can thank God for that. Willie if you are reading this now, please know that you will be in many people's prayers, mine included.
OMG I hope everyone is okay. I know everyone got out okay. I really hope they can replace their house and all of their belongings soon.
My prayers are with her.
Katie
Pam, I'm sending you the address right now.

OMG, what a nightmare.... :eek: !!!
Things like this are so overwhelming; htey will leave an immense scar on Willie and her family.... ! My parents were in the "big flood" in Europe in 1953: their house, including a butchery, was completely ruined. My parents still have nightmares over this...
Lots of hugs and prayers to Willie & family!!
Thankgoodness that they are ok.
Very scary situation.
Sending many Hugs and prayers.
I'm so very sorry about this. It's horrible!! :( Thank goodness Willie and all the pets were rescued. I hope the house can be rebuilt and the insurance will pay for a temporary accommodation.
Sending lots of hugs and positive thoughts during this difficult time.
How horrible. :(
Many good wishes headed to Willie and her family.
I have Paypal set up from when we raised money for Randi, so if anyone wants to send money via Paypal they can use that. I was planning on sending Willie something anyway, so I could just add whatever amount I receive through Paypal to what I'm sending - and identify any donors by name of course. The only thing to remember is that Paypal gets their share of anything you send through it, so to get the full amount to Willie a gift card or money order would be better.Quote:

So if anyone wants to use Paypal, they can go to my site datslife.net and click on the Paypal button. That will take you to Paypal and just follow the directions from there.
Kim, I didn't check with you on this first because I wanted to get the link out ASAP so people can start using it if they want, but if you'd rather that I didn't do this, just let me know and I'll delete this post.
Oh, and just for future reference, with Paypal the money isn't there "instantly." You have to tell them how you want it transferred to you and then it takes 3 - 4 days for them to transfer it to your account. Actually sounds to me like buying the Wal-mart gift card online would be the quickest way to get it to her.
Life is just so darn unfair. How could something like this happen to one of the dearest and nicest members of Pet Talk?
As someone else said, mere words just don't seem adequate.
Willie, you have my prayers for yourself and your whole family.
Kim, I will be p/ming you to get Willie's address.
Gini, I just sent it to you.........
Laurie, thanks for the address. Kuhio thanks for the link to Walmart.
Since Willie is going to have to start at the bottom again........I sent her a Walmart card because she can get so many different household items there along with clothing.
I'm going to the bank on my lunch today to get a US money order and will get it mailed off tomorrow.
My heart aches....what on earth can we do to comfort her?:( :(
How terrible that this has happened:( Willie, I just want you to know that I'm thinking of you and am so sorry.
I'll be sending LOTS of prayers your way sweetie.
Love Anna
Poor Willie. :( So much tragedy.
Bless all of you who are helping her out. :)
Willie is one of the most caring, loving, non-judgemental person I've met here... we could do no less for our family.
Many thoughts and prayers going our to Willie and family. What a tragedy!! I'm so glad everyone is alright.
Willie, please take comfort in knowing that so many people all around the world love you and are praying for you and your family.
((((((HUGS))))))
So sorry Willie! Could I get the address as well from anyone who has it?
I just sent you a PM with the address.Quote:

I am replying to all of you that have been so kind in sending my mom and family prayers and thoughtful words of encouragement. I am Angie, Willie's oldest daughter. Mom wanted me to reply and say thanks so much to each of you. I would also like to thank you all for the sweet things you have posted about my mother!! Right now they are staying in a mobile home that my husband and I have next door. I have been telling mom about all the kind things you all have said. Maybe soon she came come here and spend enough time to post on pet talk herself. She also says that pet talk prayers are the best!
Again, Thank you!
Oh Angie, thanks so much for posting this. Please, please go to your Mom and give her a big {{{hug}}} from Slick and tell her that she and all of her family is in my daily prayers.
I'm so glad that everyone is safe...but I'm wondering about Mario. Is he OK and where is he staying??
Good to hear from you, Angie, tell your Mom we love her and hope things get better every day.
Mario is ok. Lindsey and I went to Mom and Dad's place today and spent a little time with him. He was doing fine. I will give mom a hug for you all. Thanks for the kindness!
