Ishwerwood and Bay Meadows Update
>> Friday, February 27, 2009
What an amazing week it has been. The outpouring of community support has been truly amazing. I wanted to update everyone as to where we are in our efforts and thank all of you for coming together during this tragedy.
Isherwoods
Tami and David are hoping to bring the girls home today from her Dad's house in Lakeland, that is tentative based on whether or not the house is ready. She really wants to get them home as soon as possible but really wants her house to feel like a home when the girls come in. They are in pretty good shape and have most of the necessities to function. They slept in real bed last night. The couple of things still needed are clothes for the girls size 4t-5t and size 9 shoes (gently used or new). She had thought she was going to be able to salvage some of the clothes but the fire department recommended not to reuse any of it due to the toxins that they were exposed to. She is still looking for a dresser for the girls room. White and girly. Little kids hangars. Gift cards are great so she can fill in the holes, target, walmart etc. You can drop off specific things for the Isherwoods at the preschool or the church. Tami, David and Cindy (Tami's mother are sooooo grateful for all of the efforts and are overwhelmed by the gracious givings of everyone)
Bay Meadows
There is going to be a general fundraiser tomorrow, Saturday in the parking lot in front of Antonio's from 10-3:00 if you want to make a donation to the victims affected. For more information you can contact Bay Meadows at 573-4601. Elaine Curda is the contact for donations ecurda@udr.com. She has recommended emailing pictures of things to her so she can see if the items fit the needs.

Meal Schedule
We do have a meal schedule that is being delivered to Tami's family thru the end of next week. We have a couple of days left if you want to help in this way. March 5th,6th,7th and 8th. People have been asking what they have had and what they want. They have no food allergies and eat everything. You are feeding 3 adults and two children. If you would like more details, please call the church office or contact Debbie Wilson.
