I know somebody whose house burnt down recently in Morgantown, KY.
Luckily, the family is OK. I have since been in contact, and hope to help her more soon. What an awful thing to happen. She is probably still in shock about it.
But I wanted to know if I missed any ideas to help her. I looked around to get some more ideas today on how to help.
Here are some ideas I found:
#1. Tell them to call the Red Cross. Help by getting a local phone number for them.
#2. Send money, as much as you can.
#3. If you have a "regular" bank, try to set up a fund for them.
#4. Find out what they need (after they get a place where they can keep things...)
#5. Offer to look after their pets.
#6. Give them copies of photos they would like (if you are family and can make extras)
#7. Let them know you care about them. Ask them if you can help.
#8. Tell friends so they can also help.
More ideas? Please leave a comment.
