Great idea Marm, I also love calling it Survivor shower or TVCH shower.

Please keep us posted on details. I don't use paypal but would love to buy online and have it sent to her

Ginger, I just found out about your devastating news. I am sooooo sorry to hear you have lost your home. I am thankful, however, that you and your family (as well as your babies) got out safely & physically unharmed.

Marm, you are an angel! I would love to help and will keep checking back for more information.

Ginger, I just found this connection from Tess's updates (Tess you are a treasure to keep us informed like this).

I am so very sorry for your trauma and loss. I hope the angels are with you through this trying time.

Marm, what an excellent idea. Count me in too.

Oh Ginger. This is horrible news. I'm so very sorry honey. Please let me know of ANYTHING at all that you need. Marm can tell you I have a house slammed packed with everything. There's not a single thing that I have only one of if not 5 or 6. And if your kitties need a place to stay I'd be more than happy to take them in. I'm sure they would get along just fine with my 2 kitties because they are mostly scardy cats. So you feel free to put them on Amtrak to Buffalo and we'll pick them up and take very good care of them. If there's anything else I can do please let me know.

Marm, love the idea!

Ginger, I'm so sorry for what you're going through!! I went through it myself, and I'll tell you one thing. You really will appreciate and you need to accept our help!! We CAN be real life savers in so many ways. Also, TALK!! Let us know how you are doing as often as possible. We are all concerned for you, as many people were for me, and I love them all. It really does help.

I'll start a new thread called "Ginger's TVCH Survivor Shower" and then move the more recent comments about it over to that thread.

Give me a few minutes....

This is just awful, too awful for words :(

Ginger, accept our help. We all feel helpless because we cannot put our arms around you. You are family here, and you mean a lot to many of us. Please please let use know what you need. Anything and everything.

I don't know what else to say, sorry just doesn't seem to be enough.

We love you Ginger, you are family and when you are in pain, we are in pain. You are not a nameless faceless person on the other side of the screen, you are a real person and we want to help, please let us. You are not alone while you are going through this.

If anyone would like to see a local TV newcast about this terrible fire, so that we can all connect with what Ginger has been through, click on the links below. Seeing the fire with their own eyes will really make everyone realize how lucky Ginger is.

Under the picture on that page, you have a choice between Dialup and Broadband, and you can watch the story as it aired on TV. You must have RealPlayer or a similar application to see the story.

New York One's story on the fire at Ginger's house

And here is the follow-up story about what probably caused it. It includes some more footage of how bad the fire was:

NY1's update on the fire

I don't know how long these links will be operational, so have a look while you can.

I just realized this topic about Ginger's disaster has been split in to two threads.

Ginger, my prayers and thoughts are with you. I'm so, so sorry to hear about the fire.

Ginger, I just now found out about this. All I can add is my love and hugs. I'm so grateful you are ok and that your kitties were saved.

That ex fireman was a real hero.

I'll go post in the shower thread too.

I'm so sorry for this fire, Ginger, please know you are in my thoughts. It's so frightening to realize that what your neighbor might do in a careless moment could cost you everything. {{{Ginger}}}

I hope you feel the heartfelt love coming your way! And I'm so relieved to hear you've found a place nearby. That should simplify the whole process for you.

When you have a chance to breathe a little, send us an update -- thru one of your friends is fine as that has been working great so far. We want to be with you thru all this.
