Gordon, some times we just have to swallow our pride and say "thanks, I do need a hand". That is why WE ALL are FAMILY. We can make tomorrow a little brighter. I know what its like to be destitute and wanting to do it yourself, but then what did God put us on the earth together for.
If I am out of line, I apologize. Just wanting to help others when I can.
Ted

Really, really sorry to hear that, Gordon-
Post or PM lists of anything you need... materials, resources, or assistance, permanent or temporary... we'll find ways of making as much of it happen as we possibly can.

Had a thought and discussed it with vice-president of global operations (my wife) and we agree. If you donate either to Gordon directly, or to the Baptist relief fund, let us know by email or PM your address and we will send one of the Allis Dealer DVDs. Nothing fancy, DVD in a paper sleeve and mailer, but we will cover cost of shipping. Donate what you feel is right and let us know and I will get the DVD headed your way. JimD

So sorry to hear of your loss. While you folks are out there are in a drought, we have all the T-storms tossing rain, wind, hail, and everything else Mother Nature can throw at us. It's still no comparison to loosing eveything you own to fire. The main thing is you and your family are safe! JoAnna and I are happy to make a donation to help you out. Thank you Jim posting Gordon's address. We'll send him a donation direct....
Steve & JoAnna @ B&B

Can donations still be sent to this address? I know how fast things can change. u just can't wait till ya get back into your own house. when we lost our place. once the new was up, we slept on the floor. lol. I watched on the news and felt sorry for those who lost all in a fire, but never thought much of it. until our place went up. there was people that I didn't know or have had disagreement with, that came to help us out. now any time I hear of a fire, I send anything I can. like somebody stated 5-10-20 $ sure helps when ya got nothing. there is just nothing like the feeling ya get, when you wake up the next morning in the same cloths, relizing that's all ya have. I'm really sorry for your loss and hope all ends up well. dt

Im very sorry to hear of your loss. Severe drought is taking it toll everywhere this year on crops here in Illinois. But, a pine tree wildfire is far worse than any crop failure anywhere. Prayers to you & your loved ones.

Don't worry too much about Thanks Gordon. Just take care of your family and get things right side up. Plenty of time for Tahnks and appreciation later. God Bless.
