Our Family Needs Household Items

[panfry]

Hard times this past year and unemployment forced our family to uproot, sell our belongings and move in with family. Now things are finally looking up and we are going to be moving into our own place soon....problem is, we sold a lot of our belongings and with the move and holidays cannot afford much. We are a family of 6 and could use a helping hand. If you are looking for a way to pay it forward, we could really use it and would be so grateful. In need of living room furniture, dressers, bunkbeds and could use various other household items, an upright freezer and warm boy childrens clothes/winter coats in various sizes (3,6,8-10 and 14-16).

Thanks and God Bless.

**UPDATE** Just in case you don't catch it on the bottom post. We will be borrowing a trailer for Sunday Nov. 15th and can make arrangements to pick up the items. Please give us a shout if you will be available. PM or call one of us at the numbers below.

We have a blue recliner that you can have. I don't have a pic right now but it is decent shape. It is free for the taking if you can get to Bay City to get it. PM if your interested.

[7mil Bill]

Thanks again for all the support. Wanted to let everyone know just in case it matters for picking up items....we won't be moving until Dec. 1st so as far as furniture goes, we have no place to store it until we move. Please let me know if this is an issue in items that need to be gone before that date.

Thanks.

[FearNoFishy]

I doubt this will help you but I just thought of it. I have a house in Northern Minnesota that is a nice house but the market sucks and it is listed for sale for 30k right now. Its 4 bedroom in a small town walking distance to the golf couse and about a hour from Lake of the Woods which has some of the best walleye, pike, and musky fishing around. I doubt you are able to pick up and move that far but if you are interested let me know.

[Seefood Man]

We can't help out on the kids clothes or the furniture, but we have a bunch of kitchen stuff; pots, pans, utensils and the sort you are welcome to. I was going to run them to GW this week, so give me a call
360-513-5256. Maybe I can meet you half way as well.

We have winter coats, clothes, and toys for your 6-10 year olds. I can deliver them to Sandy as I drive from Bend to PDX a lot. Let me know when you are ready for them. Glad to hear that things are starting to come around for you and your family.
TF

[greenbuttskunk]

hey guys,
We also have a good coffee table to donate along with the clothes.
plus a freddies gift card if you can use it. I told heather to get back to me when it's convenient for us to meet up and give you the goods.

[IWillFish]

I set up $100.00 gift card for you at goodwill in Sandy. Come on in the tackle shop in Sandy and pick it up anytime. Closed on Tues. and Wens. Thats all i can do for you at this time.

[Travman]

Holy smokes!! It's a race to help this guy out, wish I was in a position to lend a hand, but seriously, what an awesome bunch of people on here!!!

[King Fisher]

I have some kitchen stuff, kids clothes, etc my cell is 503 709-6603

[panfry]

We are so overwhelmed by everyone's generosity that our heads are spinning. What a wonderful group of people. We are so appreciative of all of your offers!! I apologize if I have not yet responded to anyone yet.

If anyone has an large upright freezer and would like to trade for a large chest freezer let me know. Our big one won't fit in the new place very well!! Also could use a microwave if someone has one lying around.

[No Fences]

You guys are incredible. I had no doubt that the Ifish Community would come through for this family. This is a great place to be a part of and obviously includes some very caring folks.

[HOGGEMIN]

Pan fry I have a microwave you can have let me know when and I will bring the other stuff also.

[choppers]

I only wish you had one girl in the bunch. Glad to see the ifish family making another family warm and cozy.

[panfry]

Ok you guys are INCREDIBLE!! We have found a place to store some stuff so we are going to try and make a run this weekend to the Boring/Gresham/Troutdale/PDX areas. If you have contacted us from these areas and will be around for pick up this weekend, please let me know. If by any chance we could organize a central meeting spot/time, that would be even better as we will be towing a trailer large enough to pick up furniture. The overwhelming response has me scrambling to figure out where everything is and how and when to pick it up. If one or both of the Beaverton people could meet us too, that would be great!!

We hope to one day return the favor and continue paying it forward. There is always someone less fortunate that could use a hand.......

[spinnergal]

So glad to hear that your family be all settled for the holidays-


I'm really proud to have association with this fine group of folks.

[King Fisher]

PM your address and I will bring some stuff by. No furniture but I have blankets, kids toys, shoes, etc.

[MXRacer105]

Man this thread almost brings a tear to your eye..... what a great group of folks (yeah even you TwoFister )

We are just buying our first home, so I don't have a lot to offer at this point. But I do have a pickup and don't mind taking a drive out to Sandy if someone has something that they are giving but can't make the drive.... I live in Wilsonville.

Please PM me if I can help out in some way.

[fishbait]

I have a 3.5' X 8 ft conference room table that would make a nice dining room table if you can use it.


yours if you can use it. Located just off HWy 26 at Sylvan exit

[bigwhite]

Anything else you need?

I have a Box spring and mattress - full size

But no truck in Wilsonville area.

[GameChaserFid]

It is a pretty cool thing to see all of you stepping up and helping this family out. Ifish is a pretty special place as far as I'm concerned. People helping people.....a little goes a long ways!!!!

[greenbuttskunk]

Russ,
Great to meet you, and I hope you'll be able to use all the goodies. Sounds like you you all are on your way to getting back on your feet.
Congrats on the new job, we wish you success with that.

Say hi to your dad for me, and best wishes for the holidays to you, Heather,
and the boys.
Brad

[panfry]

Salem area people.....I will be in Salem today for work around 3pm if anyone is available to meet up with me PM me a phone number and I will give you a shout.

Thanks again for all the generosity and MX Racer 105 if you think reading this brings a tear to your eye....you should be in our position. We are overwhelmed and unbelievably appreciative of everything these great ifish members are doing to help out a fellow ifisher. We could never have asked for a better group to be a part of. Proud to be an ifisher!!

[cosmo]

Shoot me a note and let me know where you're at with kids clothes and toys. I can pitch in on that effort with ease.....8 year old boy has grown out of more nice clothes than he's ever worn! Toys to, just let me know.

[jmd]

just wiped the tears from from eyes. If I can help you in any way send me a PM

[rowmanholiday]

WOW! This has got to be one of the greatest group of people in the world!

I wish I could help out, but Unfortunately I can't at the present time. It does sound like you are well on your way as far as clothes, toys and furniture goes. Again,

But, what about YOU! I know first hand how much stress a situation like this can have on someone.

You are more than welcome to join me on a nice relaxing float for winter steelhead, once you get settled. Just let me know. All you need to do is show up! I have everything else we would need.

Best wishes to you and your loved ones, this holiday season!

(Jennie, look what you have done!)

[panfry]

Thanks to all who we have met and for the wonderful items you have given us!!

We have a borrowed trailer tomorrow (Sunday Nov. 15th) afternoon after church to pick up some of the items. I think I have contacted most of you but figured I would post here too. Please give us a shout if your available for us to come by or can meet up with us somewhere. You can either PM or better yet give us a call

Heather 503-519-4911
Russ 541-948-1092

Thanks to all again!!

[225nontypical]

Russ it was nice to meet you, sorry i did not get to talk to you more as i was running out the door. i hope the clothes fit at least one of your boys.

it is truly nice to see all the people helping out, there is some hope for humanity still.

Now I don't know what kind of stuff there is, but there is a website called "e-cycle" or "recycle" that has lots of free stuff...you might try to find that website and check it out. Also, Craig's list sometimes has "free" furniture, etc...probably not "top drawer" stuff but good enough to get you through for now...I just gave away a nice oak magazine lamp table...grrrr. Would have much rather sent it your way. We have a grandson that's 6 yrs old...tall and skinny. If you have kids around that age, let me know...I'm thinking there's toys and clothes available.

[nikkidog]

After reading through all of the posts.......I would like to say "hats off" to the Ifish community. You are a very special, caring group of people It is an honor to see such a great bunch of folks pitch in to help someone in need. It's a privelage to be part of this group. Seeing all of the resposes and your generosity has already made my holiday season so very special ! ! Nik

I have a very nice microwave that is in my garage and has not been used for years. Not sure how to get it to you though.

[MsOutdrs]

We are sooo bad about keeping things around we don't need or use...We just don't have a place to store em. I'm always making a trip to GW. NOW...I wish I had some place to store things so I could pass them on to someone here on IFish in need. Too bad we don't have a central location that folks could donate their "good" used stuff to be dispersed when the need arises.
