I'm in the parking lot at school on my phone so I can't link the story but a family in jacksonville lost their home and 3 children last night. Its on JD news and WITN. They are asking for donations. I know nothing other than what's in the story but if anyone wants to donate the info is in the articles.

There were 3 children killed, 5 injured and 1 adult injured  that thunderstorm woke me up last night. Im guessing lightening caused the fire |

We found out my poor dog still has her tornado freak going, she was shaking like a leaf during that storm.
We have some things that were going to the thrift store this week, no problem detouring it.

I read that earlier, my friend works for the Daily News and posted it. Just terrible.

I'm glad they posted sizes. Maley has just grown out of her 10-12 so I'm gathering them to give.

If the donation places are out of the way for anyone wanting to donate i could drop things off for you at brewed awakenings monday. I live close to camp lejeune and pass brewed awakenings on my way to work every weekday.

hmmmm said they received the call for the fire at 5:21 am. The storms had passed by then. I was awake from 2am-7am (insomnia) It said they lost their house in a fire 8 years ago too...
Very very sad. I live buy Brewed Awakenings. I'll try to gather some household items.

So I put on my FB a link to the story and the link about donations. The head of the local lia sophia chapter (or whatever she might be my manager IDK lol) was like you should do a fundraiser. For some reason that struck me as tacky. I wouldn't want to try to profit off of someone's loss.

It woke me up at 330 -_- between the thunder and wind it set one of my window alarms off |

Nah I'm with you. Like, I get that kind of stuff if there is going to be a raffle or something and you donate $X of jewelry /scentsy etc but doing it that way, it is weird. The company is still profitting even if the individual isn't.
At least they're doing something.

I didn't even wake up from the storm. I noticed it was soggy out this morning, that was it.
