Note to anyone else that happens along. This has already been submitted to quotes. Multiple times.


(Although a couple of more submissions would not be unfunny....)

Sadly, it isn't the first time.

When I sent everyone (via PM) my friend's name and stuff, I gave her maiden name (it was her name when we dated long ago). If you are sending something and it hasn't gone out yet, please PM me for her correct last name.

DOH!

hey honey - call DP

[cirquelover]

Can you PM me her info, please. I would just send the box myself ever since I live in between you both.

Too late. Box was mailed this morning!

Truthfully, I did not.
I was under the impression that someone there was collecting.

I unfortunatley, was one of the early to leave. Which makes no sense being as it was late, but there were still folks there when I left.

UPDATE

As you may guess, a lot has happened with my friend and their situation since the fire. By the way, since it is on the web site linked below, I can tell you her name is Norene Beaver (thankfully she didn't have to grow up with that last name

First, the second fire inspired Norene to start a Non-Profit organization called Out of the Ashes to assist victims of fire. It is still in its infancy, but you can see the site here. She actually came down right after the Sylmar/Yorba Linda fire to speak with people affected by those fires. If you would like to make a cash donation (she uses ALL money for suplpies for victims), you can do so at the site.

ALSO, they sent their story to the producers of Extreme Makeover Home Edition. EMHE was very inspired by their story and it was getting pretty close to featuring them and building a new house for them. The latest word on that is that EMHE has already done several homes in the area and they are concerned as to whether they would be able to secure support (both business and volunteers) for another episode. It isn't completely out of the realm of possibilities, but they aren't holding their breath at this point. I've known about the EMHE possibilities for some time, but refrained from posting about it lest it jeopardized their chances.

HOWEVER, EMHE has a new adjunct of some sort where they award cash prizes to people in plights like my friend (I am not sure of all the details). I just found out that Norene and her family will be briefly featured on EMHE this coming Sunday. I know in Southern California, EMHE can be found on channel 7 at 8:00. Norene isn't sure exactly where in the episode they will be featured, but I wanted to let everyone know about this in case you wanted to catch it.

And thank you once again to everyone who helped out with donations of clothes, toys, money, etc.
