Guest Terry Posted July 6, 2008 I for one would like to see more people donate, I understand some of you including myself have been hoaxed or ripped off..... This is true!!!! I have checked papers on it, and think of it this way you are not cheap by sending only $5.00, if everyone only sent that much.... between all of us he could buy a Graph tec very easy, better than what he had, or buy things that are REALLY NEEDED for the family. $5.00 is only a gallon of gas or a pack of cigarettes. I could go on for hours..... But please help with even a dollar, it all adds up QUICK, and one of us may need help some day. Remember this is NO ORDINARY FORUM!!!! we are a distance helpful family. I freaking LOVE how Firemalt..... A (Professional fireman) stood right up. Hats of to you buddy!!!! :) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I personally could care less if it goes towards a new cutter, or towards buying new socks for the enite family... I just want to help a person in need! I freaking LOVE how Firemalt..... A (Professional fireman) stood right up. Hats of to you buddy!!!! :) Thanks bro... I try to treat people how I would like to be treated, and if I come out on the short end of the stick, oh well...

haumana 1,220 Posted July 6, 2008 kudos to all of you who have contributed. after reading the original post, there was absolutely no hesitation to do the right thing. could you imagine how much of a better world this would be if everyone is just as giving (financially and non-financially) as this forum is? world peace would be around the corner. It makes me smile to know that aloha is everywhere Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It makes me smile to know that aloha is everywhere I think it used to be that way years and years ago... but then some people got greedy and learned how to pull off scums, and others became lawsuit happy.

mustangconv85 0 Posted July 11, 2008 Well finally moving into a rental house tomorrow. Demo guys are starting on monday to gut the house then they are going to rip half of the house down and try to save the other half because they say that it will be cheaper then tearing it all down and starting from scratch. And we got go order some new furniture to replace what we lost so we have some furniture in the rental house. Now we just have to figure everything else we lost in the fire. We originally thought that we only lost around 80-90% of our stuff but now it sounds like its around 98% which kinda sucks Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
