So far they have lost everything. They are still waiting to get back in to see if there is anything that they can salvage, but that will not be till next week. I have already taken a few things over to them, thanks to wonderful donations from great people!
Three family members are currently staying at the hotel, which we will likely need to help them in funding part of their stay. The Red Cross has paid for four days right now, but that will only get them by for so long. Clothing sizes are as follows. Women's 18 pants and 2XL shirts. Men's 34/32 pants and L or XL shirts. Boys size 6 pants and shirts. We will likely take them to get shoes like we normally do, so setting up a time with them will be crucial for that. I already took over a big box of boys clothes, and purchased undergarments as well, and I know that there is another person who has some boys clothes to take over. In need of the men's and women's clothing. Once they find out what they can or can not salvage (which they may not be allowed to get back into the house to find out) we can compile a list of furniture needs.
As always you can stop by our Donations page and donate funds to help us purchase some of their needs, and to help pay for hotel room days. www.bigfourfoundation.org/donations
Thank you to all who have donated already today, and hopefully some of you will accept the Facebook challenge that has been going around. If we can get 200 people to donate $20 each, that will be an amazing thing.
