My call for help

I lost my home and everything I own when my apartment building burned down early in the morning of Nov. 21, 2010. I escaped with just a few lungfuls of smoke & my trusty laptop but between heat, smoke & water damage my apartment was a total loss. I'm not a person who easily asks for assistance or charity but I've come to accept that this is a situation where that's what I'm going to have to do if I'm going to recover & rebuild my life. If you're reading this, that means I'm asking you for help.

Some of the things I need, in more-or-less descending order of urgency:
  • Clothes
  • Prescriptions
  • Eye glasses
  • Living room & bedroom furniture
  • Kitchen ware
If you'd like to help, I've set up this PayPal donation widget:

I've also set up some donation links for the American Red Cross, because they provided amazing help for all of us affected by the fire on a moment's notice. It might mean a little less for me but they deserve all the help they can get.

  1. I noticed you are one of the few that has an apparent valid site link in the discussion at http://ask.metafilter.com/193482/Need-Forensic-Text-Message-Extraction

    Can you message the author of that post to contact me if he wants info? I am not going to pay $5 to join that site just to help someone out... He can see me at www.twitter.com/danmiami
