Iā€™m thinking that the Holiday they had over there in China might have something to do with this, sure couldnā€™t have helped any.

Iā€™m in the same boat. I havenā€™t received my AA Tool and itā€™s been about a month. As long as the money is donated Iā€™m ok with it. If anyone hears anything please let me know though I donā€™t want to buy another one and then have this one arrive also. I really only need 1.

My Bank is pretty cool, that add interest to monies in my account. :wink:

+1 to sending out the funds to those in need. I also confirm I wonā€™t be asking for a refund.

I think itā€™s awesome what yā€™all are doing. We lost our home durning the massive flooding and in times like these every little bit of kindness goes a long ways.

Very sorry to hear of your loss, I simply canā€™t imagine how it was down there, so many folks in your shoes or similar. Hope to add our little bit of help to what is already going on very soon.

Can you give me some feedback on where some cash money could be most beneficial? A specific Church, perhaps, that is helping with food and necessaries? Something like that? Would very much appreciate some direction in this regardā€¦

It was absolutely nuts. We got flooded out last year then ate it again this year. Our house is on pilings (like a bay house) but it wasnā€™t enough. I have a friend that lives a couple hours away in Liberty Tx who lost his house, shop, and his truck. His mom lives right down the road and her house flooded too. Everywhere you go thereā€™s trash stacked up along the roadside waiting to be picked up from all of the gutted homes. Itā€™s so sad to see this place like this. Heck, my neighbors just finished tearing down their house after having water up to the roof.

Iā€™ll find out the best place to send donations and let you know.

Thatā€™s our house in the distance.

The straps over my shop were to keep the high winds from ripping the tin off.

Dale,
Add me to the list of those who wonā€™t ask for a refund of things fall through.

The Hammer, thank you for sharing those picturesā€¦ unbelievable! The homes, the cars, the sheer widespread nature of it all, just staggers the mind to think about how many people are starting over.

I need to know that if the stated terms are not honored, then at least my money has been applied to the purpose proposed.

I have contacts with a church that has been dispensing food and diapers as the cleanup continues, Iā€™m also checking into whether or not it would be good to help the local Police departments that have been so heavily taxed helping the victims of this storm. There are a lot of publicly known entities that garner all the attention, I would like to find a more direct route to the little people that are working so diligently behind the scenes. All of it will be going to help those still cleaning up and trying to rebuild, just trying to find the most needy, those that the greater organizations havenā€™t helped.

just help someone

thatā€™s what I wanted to do

+1000 please do.

I guess Iā€™m saying do something. I hate stagnation in the face of need. We went through a couple earthquakes and a more recent flood. Our needs were immediate. Insurance or Fema came later. We needed water/food/batteries/medicinesā€¦money doesnā€™t immediately supply those.
Anyway, people will survive. And I hope we can help some to come through easier.

I hear ya chinooker, I hear ya.

I have been looking at closing this, there are lights nobody seems interested in and the spirit of helping seems to have dwindled in the face of other catastropheā€™s around the globe. So I want to put an end to it and go forward with the contribution. Because yes, need is now, in so many ways.

Iā€™m still trying to find a local church or something that is helping but havenā€™t found anything yet. I guess now that the immediate crisis is over no one is thinking about the long road of recovery ahead.
