The first few weeks after the fire seemed to be one long day. We said that for three weeks, actually. Each day consisted of going to work, and then getting donation after donation after donation: the caddy was packed with stuff every day throughout that time.
Food. Clothing. toys. Toiletries. Dishes. Everything.
We needed everything.
And did we get everything, man. Two communities reached out to us, the one we live in and the one we teach in. People came out the woodwork to donate money and stuff. It's funny when you have no stuff how much you appreciate stuff.
We lived with hubby's mom for two weeks before we found a rental property that was furnished. Now that's another story.
