Flooded Freeper Could Use Help
Freeper in Distress Bump | July 5, 2002 | Sockmonkey

Posted on 07/05/2002 10:46:55 AM PDT by sockmonkey

As many of you may already know, Fellow Freeper Texana_RED's home was washed away in the devastating floods that are hitting Texas right now. Some of you may have seen video of a house in Kerrville floating downstream, then hitting a tree, and disintegrating. That was Texana_RED's home. Some of you may have seen an interview showing a woman on televison pointing to her red pickup truck which was lodged in a tree. That was Texana_RED. She literally got out with her pajamas, with 2 of her dogs. She lost the rest of her pets, and all the contents of her house, and workshop.

Some of you may have met Texana marching around the Governor's mansion after the election, or at the Freeper Inaugural Ball.

With Jim Robinson's gracious permission, I am being allowed to bring this Freeper in Distress Call to your attention. If you would like to send a donation to help, please check the Texas Chapter Board, or Freepmail Sockmonkey or Anymouse.

Thanks for the ping! I will forward this thread to the NTX Chapter e-mail list and to the HOT and HAT chapter leaders so they can also forward it.

Hang in there Texana_RED!

Where is she staying right now? What does she need in addition to money? Food, blankets, dog food, clothing? I can come down Monday.

Is she staying with friends/family?

Thanks everyone. Texana_RED didn't have flood insurance. Her little red truck only had liability. She's at square one.

She has a place to stay-at a cabin on 25 acres-we just can't get out there until the water on the creeks go down. It's very basic, but it is a roof over her head. It has a well and electricity, but that's about it.

Thanks for all your help. Anyone who has met Texana_Red knows that she would never ask for help, but if anyone ever needed it in a big way, it's her right now.

A lot of help I am. My computer went down, and it is so frustrating. If you did the entire list, I do not know anyone else. Thanks for your work on this.

Thanks for the ping. I am so sorry to hear this. I can't even imagine how devastating this must be. Donation from the retrokitten family will be on it's way shortly.
