Can y'all help refresh my memory?
I just spoke with my friend. She has received my package (with the gift cards) and DP and FP's package with the Disney stuff (which the girls have gone absolutely bonkers over).
Has anyone else sent anything? If so, when did you send it and where to (which address)? She has not gone to the PO box for a while, so if you sent it there, she just hasn't got to it yet.
I just got off the phone with my friend and they are starting to get settled in. They moved into their semi-permanent home (while theirs gets rebuilt) over the weekend. Some things are still on order (for example, they have mattresses, but the bed frames, etc. are on order). Also, they are starting to face the shortage of all the little things (such as coasters - the last thing they want to do is ruin brand-new furniture). However, she (my friend) has not slept more than 3-1/2 hours since the fire. She has been taking prescription sleeping pills, but they are not helping. If it continues, her husband will be taking her to the doctor.
And as an update, we were able to send $225 worth of gift certificates to them ($125 for Target and $100 for JC Penney).
Lastly, I want to thank everyone who has stepped up with assistance: some with money and some with physical goods. I cannot recall who wanted to remain anonymous and who was public, so I am going to play it safe and send individual thank-yous via PM. If you not received a PM from me today, that means I have not received anything from you.
If you would still like to help out, it is still not too late! Just let me know.
