One of ours has lost everything in the Northwest Fires. Let's figure out a way to get money to her. Fire Medford, Phoenix, Talent, Oregon. I lost everything

(((HUGS)))

If financial help is needed please post on the thread and how.

Somehow and with God’s help, we can get through disasters. I lost ALL my possessions twice, each time divorced (no support) and two little children. Of course that is minimal compared to what has happened to you and so many in SW Oregon. I’m in Illinois Valley.

Paypal! Very easy to set up an account, and easy to access and send. Safe too.

Sorry about your voice. If you can breathe in steam that helps the lungs tremendously. Bowl, boiling water, table, breathe it in, towel on head if desired. We’re doing it a lot because of the horrible smoke in Illionois valley.

Thank you all so much, I and my neighbors need your help.
I have not accessed one public entity who has offered anything!

I’m amazed (well I shouldn’t be I guess) that there is no organized effort by any gov entity (state/fed) to help those evacuated.

I will get a Post office box today to mail to. I can’t think of another way without giving out my personal information.  I will NOT give one cent of this $ to any internet BS like pay pal or go fund me. 
No one understands what busy work this is. I cannot speak laryngitis. I cannot go outside. I’m trying

Maybe this will help you understand my problem.

Call my county for resource #’s...takes a WEEK

Fema...# is wrong

State...referal service only...every# they give is wrong except United way application...but it’s NOT for victims is for organizations to sign up to help!

I don’t see how. It’s unbelievable how broken and unconscious the entire system is. And it’s going to get worse. Oregon is LOST. My insurance charged me $364 for a copay to get copd meds replaced, said yesterday they were sending...today... NOPE! It’s a duplicate! NO $#IT! It burned you dimwits. But they won’t reverse the charge, have to wait til it’s regular shippment..couple of months.

Red cross... sends ya to Fema... fema won’t answer, United way, NOTHING...the county, sends you to 211...send to Red cross. Red cross has set up NO HELP, available next week they think......
haven’t had a chance to get the p.o. box.. going now

Years ago I was involved as a volunteer with the non-profit world... One day the head of the YWCA took me aside and said, 'it's time you learned the dirty secret'... I mumbled something about not wanting to know - and she said 'sit down'.

She told me everyone had to keep their numbers up to qualify for United Way money and other grants ect - and that the only way to do it was to 'pass people needing service around' to other non-profits. That way we all could keep our numbers up. Then she told me the actual number of people needing 'help' in our city. It was in the low thousands - two or three thousand people... passed around for months and months... So few the 'giving community' could have bought them all a house and a car with what we were collecting...

You're in our hearts AnutB... let us know what you need.
