Any idea if they are still accepting clothing donations?

Any truth?

It’s usually pretty cheap, and you’d be surprised how expensive it can be if you have to replace EVERYTHING you own.

(BTW — ’cause I know how you guys are! — this is not a diss on the donation fund. I donated, and even if you have insurance there are plenty of out-of-pocket costs — not the least of which will likely be paying a higher rent at your new place, if you manage to find one.)

So glad someone is pulling something together to help. I just told my husband about the drive and we’ll see what we can donate in the way of clothes etc.

I live right around the corner in a similarly-sized 3-floor building and every single unit comfortably accommodates 3 residents, so I doubt they were living in a very cramped way.

Therefore, some of these units, which can’t have more than a couple bedrooms each, must have contained 8 residents. I’m as sad about how they lived before the fire.
