Melissa and Jeff Stallings are friends of our son Andrew, and were flooded out
of their home. Their parents and extended families were also flooded and are
staying in shelters in Florida and Louisiana. Jeff and Melissa headed to Austin
where they stayed with Andrew for a few nights. They have decided to settle in
Austin for the foreseeable future. Amazingly, Melissa has already lined up a
job at a pre-school in NW Austin, and they have found an apartment into which
they are moving today. They also have food-stamps arranged through the Red
Cross.
However, they came to Austin with only a car (which belongs to Melissa's
father), an air mattress, and the clothes on their backs. So they need a few
things to set up house. We have contributed a few things--blankets, dishes,
towels, silverware, etc---but here's a list of other items that would help:
Cooking utensils.
More towels, linens, etc.
Table and a couple chairs.
Lamps
Couch, etc
If anyone has stuff to contribute, please leave a message at 990-2480, or reply
to this e-mail. I will make a sweep to pick up and deliver what's available by
tomorrow (Wednesday) evening. We will be out of town from Thursday through the
weekend, but if some of you have stuff to contribute after Thursday, I'll give
a contact number before we leave town.
In addition, Melissa is concerned about her 14-year old niece who is in a
crowded shelter in Florida. She would like to be able to fly her to Austin to
stay with them here. If anyone has frequent flyer miles that they would like to
contribute, I'm sure that would be very much appreciated. She is without either
parent and Melissa is concerned about her emotional well-being.
Ron
