A fellow blogger, Cat, "A Mom in the Swamp" needs our help.
Help for Cat and her family:
I have permission from Cathy to post this, she was very leary of asking for help, but they really could use it.
They are on their way to KC right now, and have had to leave everything behind (basically just closed the door behind them). Everything they owned is a loss. Both storage rooms were flooded, and the rental was flooded. They are not sure if their items are covered by their renters insurance (due to it being flood related) and FEMA cannot give an estimate as to when/what they will be able to help with. I am asking that if any of you can give something (anything, no matter how small) please consider giving it to this family. I can tell by the comments on her posts that there are people who care about her deeply, and right now they really need the support, not only financially, but also emotionally. If you cant help financially, email me and I will give you an address to send a card to her and her family.
Paypal Donations:
If you would like to donate via paypal, I will make sure the money is sent to them. My paypal also takes Credit Cards, if that is easier. If the donate button below is not working, please go to www.paypal.com and send your donation to heather AT ciaomybella DOT com.
Items the family needs (with sizes)
Cathy: Shirts: M/L Shorts/Jeans: 6 long (if you can send some bathstuff/etc, that would be great. She needs some relaxation)

He lost all of his pokemon cards- they were able to salvage one plastic box of lego’s for him. He is very mature for his age, loves to build and do things with his hands. Anything that takes alot of thought and time, he would love it. He really enjoys bionicles (some sort of building thing.) and legos.
Brandon- (7) Shirts: Medium Pants/Shirts: 7
Anything you think a 7 year old would want, he would love it! Matchbox cars are his favorite. And his stuffed animals (dogs/animals) were lost, and meant alot to them.) His birthday is in 5 days (he will be 7).
All the children will need new school supplies, including backpacks.
If you want to mail them items, please contact me and I will let you know where to send them. Please use my yahoo email (jax_bella AT yahoo DOT com)
They also have 2 golden retrievers, which are like their children. They lost their cat last week 
If you have any questions, please feel free to email me at jax_bella AT yahoo DOT com
Those of you who are so inclined, please put this information on your blogs, directing people here. They could really use the help, and I know from the comments that she is receiving that there are people out there wanting to help.
Thank you all so very much for caring for my SIL and her family, It means more than you will ever know.
Heather
