Help for a Festiva family in Joplin, MO

[Pu241]

I want to request what the children in the house sizes and/or are too. I know they do not need anything as their's were spared but I am certain they would like to see a little something show up for them too.

Rodney,

This posting on the second page from Wes himself gives much of what your looking for:

Thank you. But you missed my point. He is only mentioning one daughter.
I am not sure how many there are but he mentions 2 other names, "Karissa's clothes and Marlenes were still in their closets." And I think it would be nice to drop them a little something too. Unless they are teens, then there is no way what I pick out would work...

I just think it would be nice to include everyone affected.

Sorry you are correct, the two other names are his ex-wife and older(16+ yrs, I think) step daughter.
I'm sure they would appreciate anything you decide to send.
Though their need isn't urgent as his youngest, who lost all her clothes.

Man I tell you what guys my Grandma's house was about 2 miles from the hospital and its destroyed. I went down on Sunday night and came back on Wednesday. Its bad down there real bad. One of the guys killed I went to school with. My wife has a cousin that got wiped out too. I was in Alabama for work helping with the ones down there and this one is just as bad.

Geez, makes me glad I live where I live. We have to worry about an occasional flash flood, but nothing like that. :shock:

OK, sent the $200 collected from the raffle at Ohiostiva and direct donations as detailed here:

I was going to try to use a screen shot to confirm sending said funds, but best thing is for Wes to say he received them.
Also, I'm not sure what info maybe imbedded in a Paypal screen shot, if any.

Sorry i didn't get to you sooner.

John i can't thank you and this forum enough, you guys are the absolute best. Today i bought a new twin mattress set and a dresser for my daughter as well. All new bedding too. She is going to make some thank you cards soon. I'll try and scan them and post to this thread along with the pictures..

[Pu241]

No thanks necessary!

Only I ask is if you find someone else in worst shape than you and your family that you try and help them.

I have been asked if you can post a pic of your daughter, a lot of people would like to "see" who they are helping.

Can you confirm the receipt of the $200 I sent you this afternoon, from the Ohiostiva, as detailed above.

Hope things are getting better!

[festivaWES]

Confirmed John, posts on the 3rd. Thank you

This is my daughter, with her new swimming suit from a friend at my moms work.
