Everything Lost to Fire, a Decatur Neighbor Needs Some Help

'I can't imagine losing my home and everything I own so whatever you have, please consider donating for a good cause.'

Hi everyone!

These listservs have helped me many times before and I am in need of 
help again.

A friend of mine lost everything in a Decatur house fire last week. I 
am looking for anything that can help him:

  • Clothes/shoes are his biggest need right now: He wears 32x32 jeans, L/XL shirts, size 11 shoes
  • A queen mattress is needed asap!
  • Furniture
  • Also looking for a laptop and stereo, electronics. (He is staying with family right now so he currently doesn't have much room for the bigger stuff.)
He also has a medium sized dog (who was lucky to escape).

If you can donate anything, please let me know — ac-carroll@comcast.net — and we will arrange a pick-up. I can't imagine losing my home and 
everything I own so whatever you have, please consider donating for a 
good cause. I myself am giving him things I planned to sell.

Thanks so much!
