the community needs to come together on this one
the Mount Pleasant Fires have displaced many people from their homes
imagine this...
losing your home and all that was within it
your favorite sweater
your baby pictures
a book that you had not finished
your computer... your ipod... your everyday stuff
your stuff
whatever it is... it is your stuff
imagine this...
not having your home
no longer having a space that you call your own
no bedroom with your sheets and your blankets and your photos on the wall
your bathroom with your toothbrush
your jewelry
your memories
lives have been changed
the community really needs to come together for this one
children's clothes and children's toys
clothing for work
clothing for play
blankets and jackets
all of these things are gone
all of these things are needed
everyday things need to be replaced
everyday stuff
basic stuff
lisa and I are starting to get some stuff together
this is not just a group of people in need of help this weekend
it will take time for these people to rebuild their lives
we can help
feel free to comment about places to make donations
and what else can be done
if we all do a little it will help a lot
