Hello my coin brothers and sisters,
Just an update.
We are still looking for a house near by where our home use to be. So far nothing unless it’s two hours away. We are all fighting off the depression that is without question our worst enemy these days. Mornings are the worst for the reason that when I open my eyes I get kicked with the reality of our horrible hell we need to face again.
This forum and all of the good folks attached is a gift from god and you are all angels of mercy. I haven’t the words the express how much I love you all as I am just a puddle of goo.
With my heart in my hand I say thank you all and god bless each and every one of you.
With much love, Joe & Family
The bitterness of "Poor Quality" is remembered long after the sweetness of low price is forgotten.
@crazyhounddog, you & your family are doing a wonderful job of hanging in there. Help is on the way from fema etc. Have faith & our prayers will help get you through this.
Last February two of our daughters sharing an apartment while attending the same college got burned out of it at 4 in the morning. Idiot landlord installed a space heater in the wall of an illegal basement apartment and did the wiring himself. None of the smoke detectors worked.
Fortunately one of the tenants woke up to the smoke and started yelling. Everybody got out unharmed. As I told them, it could have been a lot worse.

Thanks to all the forumites who helped our friend crazyhounddog. The fund far surpassed my dreams. I am proud to be a member of this forum. We all found we can have a common thread beneficial to another but at the same drawing us all into a tighter bond. I have requested Joe to withdraw his funds and I will attempt to end the fund. Again, I thank you all for your participation....Jim

When everything is said and done, someone should document this on YouTube, a documentary film or even a movie should be made on what all these fabulous members have done, contributed, offered condolences, prayers and much much more to @crazyhounddog & his family.

Jim,
Maybe you should keep it open, if possible?
Surf just jumped in with $200 and Angel Dee's with $500 and Dennis Wells for $100, so you are still getting donations...
It has truly been amazing to see this community come together to rally around @crazyhounddog Thank you to everyone who went out of their way to donate or give well wishes. You each make me proud to be here.
Sorry for his loss, But happy that him and his family are safe it's hard but I know you can do it pull it together and you guy's can move mountains. Every one Be safe out there a lot can happen in a blink of an eye. I see it way to much very happy you are safe.
The messed up part outside of people losing everything is the people whos homes were untouched by the fire. So they get no insurance pay out. THeir towns are now abandoned ghost towns and their homes are worthless and unlivable but they get nothing.

That's right. As bad as it is, you are not alone.

That's good. His family can probably use it right about now. So much to think about and do.

Dang, I never considered that. Wow what a situation to be in. So even if your home is unliveable, nothing can be covered by insurance?
Crap.
