Please Read: Assistance needed ASAP!
I just got a phone call from Dawn. While she was at the school picking up her son, her house burned down. The cause isn't determined as of yet but it is believed to have started in the kitchen. The only thing they have is the clothes on their backs. What is needed:
For Dawn:
Women's 18-20, size 9 shoes
For Mark:
Size 38/40 with a 30/32 inseam, size 10 shoes, shirts: 2X
For Markie
Size 32/34 with a 30 inseam, size 10 shoes, shirts: 1X
They have lost everything and it may take awhile for the insurance to kick in.
If you have any donations you would like to get to Dawn, Please call me at (317) 546-2579 (home) or (317) 446-8423 and we can make arrangements to pick it up or you drop it off. Since I live close to Dawn, Bill & I agreed that we could be the drop-of site for anything and he is home during the day for anyone who would like to drop things/money off at then.
Dawn asked me to post to let you all know what is happening & said that she would try to get to the library in a few days to a week. She's suppose to give me a call back either tonight or tomorrow...once she calms down enough to make a list of what all they need. Dawn has done so much for each of us that I told her to try not to worry that her OH family will take care of her. So....help.
For those who sent $ to Dawn for the exchange: Dawn is going to go to the post office tomorrow and have them hold her mail. If anyone else would like to mail a donation for the exchange (or for Dawn & her family), drop me a line and I'll send you my address. Just be sure to specify which one it is for, k?

In addition to the clothing/bariatric needs, there is also a $1,000 deductible on their insurance. They have no idea how they are going to come up with that. I'm hoping some of you wouldn't mind helping out with that. I will...but I can't touch the amount she needs on my own...but I know we as a group can!
Thank you so much to all who have written & called so far. I have said it many times and each instance such as this just confirms it. You are all terrific people and I am so glad to be blessed to have you as my friends.

Sherri,
I did find shoes I have 3 pair of dress shoes. One pair is brand new I haven't worn them yet. The others are in really good shape. I also have a pair of gym shoes in size 91/2. I found a couple of nice work type outfits also. So we will work something to get together and pass these on.
Thanks,
