Words can not express what I saw yesterday. I went to see thier old apartment, EVERYTHING is gone. I am absolutely devestated, I can't even begin to imagine how they feel. The poor kids are more worried about their ferrets than ANYTHING else. I saw it, the ferret cage,I lost it. What used to be about 5 feet by 4 feet by 3feet is now about only just a couple inches by a couple inches. But everything else is gone too, more than half of the furnishings and personal items were just ash and melted plastic, even the fridge melted.
I am surprised at the amount of help that people have offered. Still no help from the red cross or salvation army, or walmart or ymca or local churches yet but many friends, family & friends of friends are offering a helping hand.
This is a short update, I am on dial up, have a house full of people & kids & am VERY busy, but it's an update non the less.
EDIETED:
Most of the clothes that were donated are the wrong size, so everyone is still in need of clothing, and of course a lot of other items too.
They are in need of money for security deposit & first months renton an apartment and of course will be needing quite a bit of things for the apartment.
Between myself & a few close family members & friends we have gathered:
kitchen table & chairs
tv
vcr
dvd
vacuum
silverware set
and I think that is about it. Oh I am pretty sure we can find some kinck nacks for them too.
If anyone is wanting to get them something specific but can't ship it or the like, if you want to send money or whatever I can get it, show you pics of the item & send you the reciept. I am not asking for anything for myself, I am honest & offering to prove that.
I don't have time (dial up & family here) but here's one pic of the kids you are all helping & praying for: Dial up is too slow, here's a link to a post not too long ago with them in it:
