A Request for Help

I'd find out what stores are near them. I know Maddy's cousins live in Blythe and the only local shopping is KMart. It wouldn't be helpful to get a Target giftcard if the nearest one is 200 miles away or something.

And yea the Visa cards have "issues". You can't do as Pru said the parial payments like you can with in store gift cards (or at least most cashiers can't seem to firgure it out).

I don't think we have any of the kind of clothes they need. Can I donate some money via PayPal for this effort? It won't be much but I want to help.

Well, I think they can use target cards online, if they shop that way. Of course, I expect they are in need of a PC/laptop, at this point, too.

We might have some clothes for the 2yo. I'll check with Mrs. PirateRoberts.

Are the 2yo and 4yo boys or girls?

Yep. Not sure if I can help on that one, but it is in the back of my mind.
