NOTE: If you haven't seen the posts in Hogs and Quiches and Prayers Round-Up . . . they lost their house in fire last night!!!
Hey Farmgirls!!
I just talked to Karen on the phone. They are okay . . able to stay at her mom's house who lives across the street.
My hubby and I have gone through this exact same thing . . . so I was able to offer her some suggestions about their recovery plan, going through the insurance process, accepting offers for help, etc., etc.
IT IS OVERWHELMING!!! But you can get through it!!!!
If you are looking for suggestions for how you can help right now.
- They need clothes . . . got out of house with only what they were wearing.
- Karen needs a computer to set up to use at her mom's.
- She homeschools their boys and lost all their books . . so will
need those replaced.
CASH DONATIONS . . . or gift cards to places like Walmart . . are ALWAYS helpful.
I have her address if you need it . . . and I have her cell phone number.
Email me if there is anything else that I can do . .
THANKS FARMGIRLS!!!

Terri,
Based on our experience of going through a fire, my suggestion is if you can send then CASH or gift card so they can get things they really need right now . . . that's the best idea for right now.
If you need her mailing address, email me for that.
THANKS!!
CJ

I too have her mailing address, but has anyone ever ordered anything through her Etsy? It would be faster and easier from here if I could PayPal a little something to help.

My heart is just breaking. I mean, I just received a beautiful Christmas card from her and....sorry, sobbing doens't help me with the typing. Just let her know that I'm thinking and praying for her and her family. And let me know what the heck I can do!

Karen does live in a small town but there is a Walmart Supercenter location in a town about 15 miles from her home.
Kmart and Target stores are approx. 35-36 miles away.

Hey Farmgirls!!
I talked with Karen again this morning . . . she said that sending WALMART GIFT CARDS is a GOOD idea. She does go shop at the one in the town 15 miles away regularly.
She also said that all one has to do is call the bank and ask to transfer funds into the benefit account. IF YOU WANT THAT PHONE NUMBER EMAIL ME.
She will try to find out if . . . and how . . one can donate to her PayPal (through her Etsy shop) and will call me back with that info later today.
They are doing okay and are getting MARVELOUS support from their community. She will be working with their insurance adjuster this morning in just a few minutes . . said they'd be busy for a while.
I hope this helps you Farmgirls more with knowing how to help.
She also said to tell all of you "THANK YOU!! THANK YOU!!! THANK YOU!!! SHE LOVES YOU . . . EVERYONE!!!!
And I thank you!!!
CJ
I also have clothing sizes now

Alrighty then . . . here's the scoop on donations through PayPal.
First of all YOU MUST have a PayPal Account
Secondly YOU MUST have funds in your account already.
I won't go into the remaining steps unless you want to go that route.
If you do, email me because you'll need Karen's email address.
Thanks!!
