I'm amazed at how quickly we have been able to find what we need to move into our rental! Thank you so much!

We plan to move in on Sunday! Yay! I know Dan & the kids will be happy not to have to commute to RF from Stillwater in the mornings. Laura is in easy walking distance to the middle school, and we will need to drive Tasha to school at Rocky Branch so she can continue to attend with all her friends in a familiar environment. Michael was walking to the high school before, so we will need to find where Michael's bus stop will be.

We have temporary bedding, but are still in need of donations of blankets & comforters (shades of blue preferred). Michael still needs a queen sized bed.

We also have temporary use of towels, but are still in need of donations of bathroom towels and hand towels (blues preferred). Also donations of kitchen towels. Sandy likes blue floral and garden/herb patterns, or any shades of blue.

Gift cards we can use for purchasing food and household basic supplies, etc. would also be helpful. Gift cards for Walmart (where Sandy can use her associate discount to extend the money) or KwikTrip (for our diesel vehicles) would be the most helpful. I'm working on restocking our 'pantry', and I'm concerned that if there is just a list of needs, we may get more than we can use of some items, and none of other needed items and we have limited space available. I'm not sure the best way to get gift cards to us yet, other than dropping off at our church, First Covenant (across from Burger King) or Walmart in Hudson.

We've been so busy, there just isn't enough hours in the day to get everything done! We're responding to calls and messages as best as we can manage. I can't believe it has only been 4 days since the fire... it feels like at least a week or more!

We don't have internet access set up at our rental yet, so it will be more difficult to update the blog. Right now I've been updating from my mom's computer. I'll post again as soon as I can. I have limited access on my phone, so I will still be able to check and reply to emails.

Please send emails to BOTH of us so we don't miss it.

Thank you so much for all your support!

We have found a temporary home near the middle school in River Falls!

We are working on getting it ready to be able to move in by Monday so Dan and kids don't need to commute from Stillwater to RF every day. 

Sandy's family has many of the basic kitchen items to donate, and we will let you know if we need anything else for the kitchen. 

We have most of the beds we need for now, but are still in need of a bed for Michael. He needs a queen sized bed since he is too tall for a twin or full sized bed. We are borrowing the beds we have so far, so please let us know if anyone has bed frames (twin, full, or queen) to donate for our 'permanent home'. We also have been given some bedding, but I haven't gotten a chance to figure out how many and sizes. I'll update once I figure out if/what we still need. 

Treasures from the Heart is donating some living room furniture. We also have 2 dressers available to us, but we could use more if anyone has some to donate or for us to borrow.

We also could use towels. Bathroom towels, hand towels, and kitchen towels, pot holders, and dish rags.

Please be sure to let us know if items are for us to keep or if we need to return them. We want to get borrowed items back to their owners!


Please contact us by email at this time.
