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
Yup. Same here.
Yup. Same here.
Hildy, i’m in. If you hear of anything, pleasevlet me know.
...
I can’t do much from Minnesota (except take the blame for living in the Twin Cities where all this crud started...).
Prayers up.
If you have a gofundme started, let me know.
bump!
St. Vincent DePaul - Eugene center for emergency life-saving medications, and for food boxes/incidentals and other assistance. At the page bottom is a list of their affiliated churches:
https://www.needhelppayingbills.com/html/lane_county_st__vincent_assist.html
the Salvation Army: for food boxes and maybe some medications/incidentals as well as utility deposit assistance until she can get settled.
The Lane County Oregon: 1275 S Mill St, Springfield (dial (541) 747-6229) and 640 W 7th Ave, Eugene. Telephone (541) 343-3328.
I can help a little....just let me know where/how to send.
Keep me in the loop. She may not need money but she will need accomodations and meds and care and they all cost money.
Please add me to ping list when a way is figured out.
I’m doing ok with a place to stay, it’s just 3 hours away from home. Don’t worry, I’m safe and sound for now. Just dread facing the reality when we go back.
Thank you for the update. Just know we are all here for you if you need anything... just ask. Heart and prayers are with you.
Good morning.
Glad you have a place to stay. Not sure if you want to go back yet.
We have friends from our church who relocated to the burn area, earlier this year. No response from the emails to them. Same with another family just east of Portland.
Our Grandson and his room mate at Chico State were on standby warning to evacuate. They were renting a private home. I sent his parents links to the pics from your former area. After some discussions they got home yesterday evening.
This past Sunday, Chico State closed all of its dorms due to Corona 19 bs. It has been a hell of a year for them and over 10K Chico state kids.
They will continue with online classes this Monday.
Prayers up for everyone in danger or being dislocated.
Thank you sweet lady. I wish I could hug you all. So many of you I have not met, but someday I’ll smile again like this!! Hi to everyone. I just don’t know yet where I will be or what I need (clothes!! lol) I had a bitchin’ wardrobe!! ...
I’m smiling for you https://www.classmates.com/people/Billie-Nix/4000166285618
Thank you!
I am waiting for my ins. to call back to see if I have some lodging coverage. Have a good place with this sweet man in Cottage Grove who will help me go through the rubble and take me down there to do it, when they say we can. Just hoping for a few tokens.
I’m sure so many are worse off.
AuntB, keep checking back in on this thread. Would like to know if I can send you anything you need. I’ve an extra scratching post, but would cost more to ship then to order one sent to you. Strange to think of some extras for our critters that makes such a big difference to them. Stay well, dear lady.
You are all wonderful. I am safe and being taken care of by a dear friend. I have laryngitis from the smoke of a week. I wish you could see the pictures. I’m in need of time right now more than anything and I’ve never been so busy. I’ve given lots of thought to your generous offers, and please share with all the others. Most of my loss was because I was ready for anything but this. This area has never had a fire. I moved out of that stress years ago because I was too old. But I failed to increase my insurance after years of remodeling. No ones’ fault but mine.
But being the only person to warn a neighborhood, cost me all I’ll ever have. I would love to have your generous offerings put in a fund if one of you can set that up. I just can’t right now. Typing is a torture.
Thinking is worse.
That fund will be for my 55 neighbors of-———
Sr. VILLIAGE, PHOENIX, OREGON* and a few surrounding ones, for those not as lucky as I. I have been offered a home. And be aware it may go to fund finding out WHY we had NO warning. Those decisions have to be made later. If that is agreeable to you, I promise I will be fair to those most in need.
* I will share the name with one of you on email when you contact me. Hesitant to give the name too publicly. Need advice.
THANK YOU FREEPERS.
Salvation army is really good about helping. I wonder if Franklin Graham org is out there.
