I keep being asked what we need and that is such a tough question to answer. The night our house burned, everything inside burned with it. After hours of fighting the fires that bounced between my house and my neighbors, it was decided that they both needed to be tore down. We were able to help the neighbor pull some of his stuff from what was left of his house. Our house had a basement though, so when they tore our house down they packed as much of it as they could into the basement leaving the top layer mostly rubble from the upstairs and attic where nothing was stored. We have dug through it many times. The only things we were able to find were a few crystals from our families very large collection. We were unable to find anything else. Honestly we need everything that you would need to run a house, clothing, personal items, toys. I know this isn’t really a necessity, but I would like to get some board games to play with the kids. we made it a habit to play board games together multiple days a week and the kids are missing that.
I was walking through Walmart yesterday, and started to have a panick attack because I realized just how much stuff goes into a house. I was looking around at everything and thinking about all of the stuff we had, the new stuff we had just bought that hadn’t even been used yet. I realized that there are so many things that we need that I haven’t even thought of yet. I know people have asked for a list of items we need, and clothing and shoe sizes. I can give the sizes and ways to donate. Please reach out if you have any questions.
Dona size 8, she can still wear a lot of size 7/8, she can also wear some 10/12 shirts and they fit the same as the size 8s do. Just depends on how it’s made. Shoe size 1-2
Kinsley size 7/8 shoe size 12
Daniel size 3T and 4T. Shoe size 10.5-11
Michael 2x shirts, size 42 pants , shoes size 13.
Christina 2x-3x shirts, size 2x leggings, unsure of jean size, shoe size between 8 1/2 and 9 1/2 again depending on how they are made.
