Hi Debi,

Since you know the joy of giving, I hope you will accept what I sent you today because it would make me very happy. A little birdie gave me your address. There are times in our lives that we need to allow others to help us. It's good for all our souls.

If anyone would like to donate or just send a card to jinnia at this time please pm myself, giggles, jod5413 or bonustreak for her address. Perhaps we can help her recover some of the basics.

Tis the season to spread some love. Thank you for letting us jinnia! We are with you at this difficult time in your life. :hug:

I am sorry to about this Jinnia my thoughts are with you and your family.

Hey Jinnia!

It is about time you figured this out, you are liked, respected, and have a heart as big as Texas and deserve to be cared about. For Real And For True, Girlfriend!

Just consider it an early Christmas present from those of us that kinda, sorta, like you a little bit, OK? :tongue:

What am I gonna do with you mojo?? And jod, I think I have who the birdie is now from seeing who posted at GIA right after mojo, and the same person has done the same here.

Mojo, you are beyond any words!!

I thank ALL of you from the bottom of my heart!!

Jinnia,

I, too, have been thru this at Christmastime.....it was Dec 8 of 1990, and I'll never forget it!! My tree was up, and I had some presents under the tree. I got a call at work that my home was on fire!!

I didn't believe it at first, but it was all too real. My tree lights had shorted out, and b/c my home was weather proofed, no one saw a thing til the windows blew out. That started a real blaze. It was the most sickening feeling I can ever remember. Fortunately, the kids were at school, and no one else was endangered.

I got thru with the loving support of family, friends, coworkers, and even strangers who wanted to help. Sometimes I wanted to turn down offers of help, but my sister told me it's called "bread on the water" - pass it on. So some of those who offered help were probably passing on the help they were given at some point in their lives. How could I refuse??

So, don't look at it as "charity" or anything like that. It's just passing on the grace we've been given at some point along the way.:hug:

You're so blessed that you and yours are well, and no one lost their lives. Everything else comes after that...but it does come. :wave:

I am so sorry you have gone thru something as this!! And your children, thank God they were in school!

Your saying reminds me of the movie - "Pay It Forward" - heart breaking movie, don't tell anyone, but I never cried so hard in my life than I did at the end of it.

Thank You Amateur!

Yes, jod is a GREAT friend!

She's made me smile, even laugh some during this. I love that girl to death!!!

Thank you to all of you who have responded. :hug: If you missed it, you can pm me for the addy to send jinnia a card.

I was in a bad car accident 5 years ago. I was in a coma for a month and in rehab for another month.

While I was in my coma, my friends did benefits and concerts. Not only that.. they had a crew of friends who took care of my house. They painted the whole friggin house. OMG. When I came home and I cried and cried! It was beautiful. It's amazing that something sooooo bad can make you feel sooo good.

Lots of Love Jinnia!

It truly is (for me anyway) a return of kindness that was shown to myself.

I understand the emotional turmoil you're experiencing. I kinda felt like I had been put into a maze and then run thru it with only time to react rather than think anything out.

There are so many things that need to be addressed in such short time. It is a very humbling time but also a time when you see the good in people which all-too-often goes unapplauded by a media that would walk across hot coals for a story about something twisted.

I've got some formal religion in me from childhood and it seems I remember Jesus said that pride is a foolish man's burden.

I cannot think of a better example of a time to put pride aside than after a tragedy of such size as to leave one without the home they were accustomed.

that said: it would be a great time saver for myself if you had a paypal account that i could pay forward my debt from years past. :)

I think that you nailed that Steve. It's what makes the world go round. Paying forward. I think we have all been there and someone, somewhere, somehow came along to just make our world a little brighter.

I agree paypal would make our lives easier lol. I havn't been able to get jinnias and I sent my card to her through the US mail. However, if anyone would like to paypal me, I will make sure jinnia gets it. Thats if you trust me! :eyebrow: LOL

Seriously, if anyone would like to utilize my paypal, I will keep records and make sure jinnia gets it and knows who it's from. Pm for the details.

that works for me.

Thank you Dear. I'll be in touch.

Confirmed S. Thank you! :hug:

Crap, can't believe I missed this, but glad to hear everyone is ok! Sending a PM mojo! :hug:

I just now read through this thread for the first time. I feel for Jinnia and her family. I hope you're not in a hotel very long. Most importantly you have your lives. I was sure happy to read that part.

God bless...

I am impressed by all your efforts to help a long time member and affiliate, Jinnia. Thank you, Mojo, for helping to make this all happen. :clap:

I know this is not gambling related but it is so great to see people wanting and willing to give. Especially with all the holidays coming up, which is always a financial burden. I hope everyone who Jinnia ever helped is willing to at least send a card, letting her know they care.

You can PM Mojo or me if you want the address.

Bless all of you.

jod
