Follows is a from CLV.

Yesterday morning at 3 am, the house where my friends Legion and Crickett (and their housemate Soonie) burned to the ground. Sarahliz just moved out a couple days ago, and she lost some stuff, too.

Everyone, including the cats, survived. But they lost ALL of their stuff. I was down there yesterday helping out and the tiny pile of stuff that looks like trash on the lawn? That’s all the material possessions they have any more.

This is me, pimpin’ it for donations. Please feel free to forward this to mailing lists, churches, whatever. My email address is clynne-donations@ofb.net.

The news story

Pix from inside the house

If you’d like to donate money, there is a paypal link (and more about the fire) in RedJenn’s livejournal. If you don’t do paypal or would like to get money to them faster than that, you can send me checks or money and I will pass it along to them. There’s also friends in Monrovia and Long Beach who can take donations.

If you’d like to donate clothes, their sizes are:

Crickett: pants, size 10; M-L tops; 6.5 shoes; M-L undies; 38D bra

Legion: 2XL pants & shirts; 50-52″ waist; 29″ inseam; size 9 shoes.

Soonie: not sure, maybe an 8?

If you’d like to donate specialty items, the special little luxuries that we all accumulate and love over our lives:

Soonie: Not sure (no one knows her very well).

Legion: He is an actor, musician, and DJ. His keyboards and drums survived the fire, but we don’t know how well, as he hasn’t tried to play them yet. The drums will need new heads for sure. All his mixing equipment is melted, and I’m pretty sure his records & CDs are all toast.

Crickett: She lost all her knitting stuff - yarn, needles, books, and patterns. She also lost all her Renfaire garb except a drinking mug.

Sarahliz: She hasn’t asked for anything because she only lost a couple items compared to what her housemates lost. But I know she lost a bunch of cool shoes and her favorite cooking utensils, as well as some drawings by her mom.

If you can’t send money or stuff, or even if you can, prayers and/or good energy are also needed. Dude, their house burned down four days before Christmas.

Once again, go right ahead and forward this to anyone.

Thanks,

:) Connie-Lynne
