More on the fire
Nov. 7th, 2008 08:43 pmY'all are fantastic. I can't believe how many people have e-mailed me after my post on the fire at the kidlet's school to tell me they'd help out. I love you all.
The kidlet's teacher tells me she had a thousand books in her classroom alone. They're still there, but the soot on them is toxic; there's no telling when or whether she might be able to rescue any of them.
The kids will spend the rest of the year in a building that belongs to a school that closed last year. Kids at one school donated some of their desk supplies; teachers at another one pulled stuff out of their teacher's lounge to decorate the lounge in the replacement school.
A gerbil, several goldfish, and two hermit crabs survived the fire, though, so all is not lost.
My offer of a smutlet in exchange for a donation is still open. As I said to someone in an e-mail, I'm kind of quietly thrilled at the idea of rebuilding the grade-school library through the power of smut.
