OK.......I may have them pegged wrong.

I speak of this because I had a tennent that rented an apartment from me several years ago after a house fire destroyed most all of his belongings. He was sleeping on the bare floor. I contacted Goodwill about assistance and they were not able to help him even with a voucher for their store or anything. The prices in the Goodwill were and are not much different than any other used furniture or consignment store.

We contacted the Salvation Army. They gave him a mattress, springs, bed frame and linnens along with a few other essentials.

He purchased a few things in consigment and thrift stores.

I would love to hear of stories how they are helping out with this disaster.
