Our home burned up two weeks ago and we are having to start over. We left with only the clothes on our backs. We had no renters insurance. Since the fire, we have rented another house. We have received clothes donations for most of our children, a few monetary donations, and a couple of beds. We still need so many things. There are  7 of us in my family; myself, my husband, 4 sons ages 1.5, 4, 9, and 12, and a daughter age 6. Our immediate needs would be for kitchen items, towels, dressers, furniture and if possible a television or some toys for the kids. They don't have anything left. We could greatly benefit from paypal donations, walmart, payless,  or target gift cards, or HEB grocery gift cards. I do not have a bank account to accept checks, but my mother in law can cash any donations for us if they are made out to her. It is hard to give a thorough list when we need so much.On top of our losing everything , we have two of our sons having birthdays within the next few weeks. My husband'sjob gave notice he would have to take a $3.00 an hour paycut or be layed off; just 4 days after the fire. Then they decided to let him go after missing 6 days because of being homeless. It has been a rough two weeks. We really could use all the help we can get right now. There are several stores here in Waco Texas where we could use gift cards at. If anyone can help in any way please email me at great_abyss@att.net. Material items do not need to be new, used works just as well. Thank-you for reading and for any help you may be able to give in our time of need.

We are still in great need of assistance. There have been so many familys victim of house fires in this area , that there is a shortage of assistance available. We could really use some walmart gift cards to purchase, food, clothing, personal care products and household items. We had no renters insurance, so everything has to be replaced out of our pockets. We have rented another place, but still have many immediate needs. If anyone could please help us, email me at terrie_76708@yahoo.com. I have 5 children to provide for, and have had no luck finding another job since the company I worked for closed. My husband will have part-full time work starting up soon. We just need to "get-by" till then. Please help me!

Thank-you!
