I'm going to update here just because it is kind of therapeutic for me! I finally got to talk to them for a bit this morning. They will be coming here. The "house" they were loaned is actually a cabin, come to find out. It took them 3 days with a chainsaw and friends just to get out of their very long country driveway and they had to cut and move over 100 trees. They got out with a few t-shirts and shorts- enough to go around with one or two changes of clothes. That's it. So sad! Anyway, we were already planning to remodel our house and change our second garage into a game room or extra bedroom. They will stay in the cabin, either until it isn't working or until we get our room done, whichever comes first. The room should be done in about 3 weeks. The men have stayed behind to work and rebuild. The dad/grandpa (not the police officer) is a veterinarian and he is treating people and animals with whatever he has. So this will be a group of one 60 yr old lady, one 88 yr old lady, one 38 yr old mom and 6 kids. At this point, I feel like it is the VERY least we can do and I'm so glad to help. There were 2 anonymous cards sent to me from someone in this forum. I already forwarded it to them and they are going to stop at an internet cafe and redeem it for shoes and health supplies for the great-grandmother. THANK YOU to whoever you are!!!!
