They were renters. They lost their stuff, not the house. They need stuff. Let's send them stuff.
That's a nice idea, but I think $ might be better. The article says some in the community have helped with stuff. These folks are going to need $$ for rent, security deposit, and renter's insurance. Money orders are cheap....
If we're going to contribute to something, I'd like to contribute towards a vacant lot that 'Extreme Makeovers' could build on. Of course that's if they'd sign on to the project.

P.S. Otherwise I like your 'stuff' post.
