With the popularity of gofundme....I would suggest anyone that is facing a total loss consider having a friend or family member start one. They could post it on their fb and people from all over could donate if they wanted to.


When my parents lost their home in a fire...I had many people out in AZ, that didn't even know my family, that reached out to me with visa gift cards, clothing donations, etc. I had to check a couple extra suitcases when I came home from all the stuff people gave to give to my parents.


Lesson learned from that....people want to help out total strangers any way they can.

Hey Nurse. My sister called someone yesterday who posted that our parents needed help and she was getting calls and Facebook messages all day yesterday checking on them.

I posted on the OB and guys here went into action helping us save our parents. It really is amazing seeing how much people are willing to help when they can.

We're going to try and bring my parents out here with us. We'll be flying back to help them with clean up as soon as we can get back. We want to get everything out of the house and see if anything can be salvaged.

Just heartbreaking. Still getting word from my sister's friends who are needing to be evacuated now.
