To the friends of His_kitty

[Bidin~Time]

She wants all her friends here at Lit to know she's not goin to be around for a while. I just got off the phone with her an hour or so ago. She'd called so I wouldn't worry about not seeing her online.

Last nite, she heard a noise in her kitchen and went to investigate. The noise was a fire. Her house was quite old so it went up like dry tinder. She is physically fine as is her son. TG he wasn't home at the time. But she lost everything.

Some of the people I knew she talked to I've already pm'd. to the rest of you, this was just less time consuming, but I'll pm you with news when I get it.

 

[Gil_Favor]

sorry to hear the bad news, please keep us posted.

 

[Purrde Flower]

wow! Give her my love.

 

[bknight2602]

Yes, give her my best wishes for a quck return to some normalcy!

 

[peachykeen]

How terrible! Glad everyone is physically OK though.

This is one of those stories that years from now they will remember and recount as one where they got a good lesson in what Christmas is really all about, methinks.

 

[TheProvert]

Would somone that knows her personally be willing to accept paypal donations or such to give to her? I'd be in for a few bucks.

one of the things she told me this morning, was how ironic it was that she'd just posted to a thread y'day that she was thankful for having a roof over her head, wood for her fire, and food.

Makes you think, doesn't it?

 

[Black_Bird]

*HUGS* We'll miss you while your gone, His_kitty.

I know her personally, and i'll be goin to check on her as soon as i get some things together for her and her son. As far as accepting money goes....oh but that girl brings new meaning to the word proud. I'll see what she says tho.

If she is too "proud" to accept money then she needs you to slap her in the back of the head. If she has a child and is currently without a warm home she needs every dollar she can get.

ps ten bonus points awarded to emi for the correct use of the word 'ironic'

 

[Bidin~Time]

Right now she is staying with her mother. And she'll be there until she can work something else out.

 

[JazzManJim]

emi, please let her know I wish her the best. If there's anything at all I can do, I will, period.

I can't say it any better than JMJ has emi.

Keep us alerted to anything that is being done for her and how we might be able to help.

And me as well.

Please, give her hugs and prayers.

Let me know if there is anything that we or I can do.

 

[Summery]

Thank you for telling us. I don't even know her, other than her posts. But regardless, my thoughts are with her and her son. I am happy to hear both are safe, and weren't hurt. I am a single mom, and live in my home with just my son and I. I can't even imagine what she is feeling right now. If there's anything I can do, please by all means PM me.

 

[Bidin~Time]

I'll making notes to take to her.
Thanks for all your good wishes. While this is a horrible thing for her to go through, maybe it will be a blessing in disquise.
Her home was farther off the beaten path than most of you could even imagine and I worried about her. Although she'll appreciate the offers, I know from personal experience getting her accept cash gifts is almost impossible. We have a description here that most of you won't understand, but it fits her to a T. She's as independant as a hog on ice.

Thanks again, everyone, for your kind words.

 

[PepperminTrish]

I'm so sorry to hear that this has happened but grateful that she and her son are fine. That's the most important thing. I'll just echo what others have said ........ if I can help in any way, please let me know.

 

[MissTaken]

I do understand her sense of pride. It isn't a bad thing, it just requires some of us to be more creative in an attempt to get our needs met.

However, perhaps even down the road, if there is a gift we could purchase, or something we could do, let us know?

She is lucky to have a friend like you, emi.

 

[Jewelz]

I'm very sorry to learn this news. Please let her know that my love and thoughts are with her and as others, if I can do anything, just let me know.

 

[intrigued]

I am so sorry to hear this. It's odd that I always do a year end cleaning out type thing, and was about to start packing stuff up to get rid of. I'm also thinning things out because I will hopefully be moving in the next few months, so please, please know that I will gladly ship anything she needs that I have. I have a ton of kitchen and decorative items, alot of boys clothes (even brand new things that didn't fit that I never returned) and alot of misc. household stuff. PLEASE let me help, I'd rather this stuff go to her.
I wish her the very best outcome to this, she's in my prayers.

 

[LovetoGiveRoses]

I'm glad that everyone is OK. Please give her my best and let me and the others here who care for her that we'd be happy to help in any way we can.

[Dietrich K.]

Aw, man ... this sucks. If anyone has some place where I can send something to help her along, let me know.
