Terrible Tragedy

Hello everyone it is with great sadness that I am witting this post. My good friend Teddi, who I've known for years, just lost everything, including her 2 beloved dogs, (whom she loved more than life), in an early morning fire a few days ago that completely destroyed her home.

Teddi is completely devastated as not only did she lose her precious animals in a horrible fire she has been left with nothing but the clothes on her back. She was renting a property that had an electrical shortage and her house burned down in minutes.

The owner of the property is not taking any blame in this matter and is ignoring all of her calls as to not deal with her. The red cross put her up for 2 nights at a hotel but that is all they have done for her.

My friend Hilary set up a fund for her. The account # is 8853786017 you can walk in to any WAMU (Washington Mutal) branch and tell them you are there to make a donation to the Teddi Robertson fund you don't even need the account # if you don't have it. I know that it is a lot to ask especially during these hard financial times but anything you can donate to her would be greatly appreciated.

I know exactly how she is feeling as I too lost everything during hurricane Andrew. I was very lucky to have help from family & friends during that emotional time. We don't realize how much we have & how grateful we should be for the little things we have until they are gone. We so often take for granted a hair tie, tooth brush, shampoo, socks, etc Teddi is in need of any and as much help as possible right now as her world has just come crumbling down. She has no one & no where to turn to.


Another friend of ours Kathy set up a blog that she will be updating with pictures and events as she gets them please check it out. You can see the news story & video of her home on this blog.
