[QUOTE="Hound dog, post: 558799, member: 84"] The Red Cross did step in and pay for a room for a couple of nights ect. But that ran out today. I do live in an area full of nice down to earth folks overall. And Jo, you're right.........this family would've received help regardless of family background. Due to this tragic event, others who found themselves in similar circumstances have stepped forward and are "paying it forward" as well, and they also come from all backgrounds/income levels. We have another such movement I just found out about for a woman who has been down with a chronic illness and has lost nearly everything. Too proud to ask for help, someone let the cat out of the bag, and now the community is embracing the challenge to set her up with what she needs for decent daily living so she can concentrate on getting well. I'm glad I chose this small town in which to raise my kids. I'm glad that all but 2 of my grandkids are growing up here. I keep hoping Nichole and her husband come to their senses and move back, but they chose a small town much like this one, just close to the city. Neighborhoods *might* do this in a major city, but usually it doesn't make it much further than that due to the whole.......well, it's so BIG if you Know what I mean?? I hope the burned family members make it. One is in critical condition, somehow managed to get severely burned from the waist up, which is not good. :( [/QUOTE]
