There is a Forumite who is about ready to go through a foreclosure on his home. He is married with two children. He has been laid off and lives in an area where there is not alot of work to be had. His Wife has basically suffered the same fate, employment-wise.

As a reference, you can contact porterbob@aol.com for confirmation I'm not making this up. This is a little project we have going and about 4 other people at the moment can be listed as references as well.

If you have any negative comments, please, keep them to yourself.

We will give you a name, etc., if you wish to help out and then you can send the funds directly to the individual.
 
This is a very real situation and we are trying to raise some money so a fellow US doesn't lose his house. If you can afford anything it will greatly be appreciated.
 
I'm here to chime in also. I've corresponded with the individual in need and I'm giving a little. He didn't ask for the money and didn't even hint that he wanted our money. We volunteered it.

If you can help out I'm sure he and his family would appreciate it greatly.

Thanks for your time,
Ross T.

I can verify that this is a real situation and am also contributing. Please help as much as you can...I was downsized myself last year and know how tight things can get. Email me and I will forward a name and address.
 
I've submitted a proposal to the email address above. Those interested, get together and let me know if you are interested. I don't like seeing anyone going through problems like this.
 
If this person has paypal, I'll use that to send some cash...

If not give ma an address where I can send a money order.

Thanks guys, I know some have E-mailed me and Bob privately, as well as you guys who have posted, and I just sent you E-mail.

Just went through a similar situation myself, so I'll be happy to help out. Don, let me get an address when you can.

It looks like we may need to temporarily set up jobs forum somewhere under community. A place where we can all help to change the sheeple content of our work place by actively recruiting (providing leads and tips) to otherwise qualified knifenuts.

I was in chat when this situation came up with one of our own. I asked Don Rearic to take the lead on this as I have to leave town this morning. However, I was able to send a check directly last night and hope others are able to do what they can as well.
 
Would like to help with a donation, but I'm firewalled here at work from e-mailing. Can someone e-mail me or post an address/
Thanks,
Joseph King
 
i'm very sorry to hear this. i'm just a college student, so i have no dollars, but i would like to extend my good wishes. if i figure a way to help, i'll get back to you all.
off to think now,

Don,
Please send an email to Gus. He handles tasks between us that could be classified as close to decent at times.

As in any community, people come to the aid of their friends and neighbors. It looks like that's exactly what's happening here now.
