GRANTED!

Wish Granted by: WishUponAHeroFoundation amyrj06 lovinggrandma13 LilMama23 onewhocares marcierinaldo Alf Oct 7, 2009

I WISH to help a family that lost EVERYTHING due to a fire

My nephew is in the Marines and is stationed in Jacksonville, N. Carolina at Camp Lejeune. At around 4AM this morning his friends apartment caught fire and they lost EVERYTHING. The mother is currently deployed to Afghanistan and the father is still home with the 5 month old baby and they are living with my nephew now due to the fire. They made it out of the fire safe and sound but 4 families lost everything. Items needed right now are for the baby. He is wearing size 3 diapers and size 6-9 months clothes. The baby uses Nuk baby bottles if anyone has some they are not using that would be great too. I have also included a walmart list and my paypal. My family will be going down there the 4th of July weekend and can deliver anything that is donated.

    The Walk On Heroes is going to purchase off your Walmart Wishlist. We would like to use Site-To-Store so save $30 on shipping. Also, we did not want to have items sent to the house if they are not living there. Please email us the store number to foundation@wishuponahero.com

    Thanks for helping this family get some of the things they needed....they appreciated everything they got.

  • jnobleverified member icon 13 months ago

    ~~~~~UPDATE~~~~~
    I have just talked to Brandon and he was allowed into the apartment to salvage as much as possible. He has said their clothes and electrical items are all ruined. He also stated his son's baby bed has been replaced already. At the time of the posting of this wish I did not know what size Brandon would wear but now have his size which is 38X34 pants and large shirts. My daughter is going to be giving alot of her clothes to his wife so she is pretty much covered there.
    Thanks for all the help on this wish!

    Hey J,

    I haven't read the news today. Which apartments were these? I don't have any baby clothes, but I will email J (your nephew) & C to see what else the displaced couple can use.

  • lovinggrandma13verified member icon 13 months ago

    just so everyone knows jnoble stated above that the wife/mother is in Afghanistan, however the father of the baby is deploying to Afghanistan in August and his wife is not due to return home until after he delpoys to Afghanistan.
    Heroes if you can help this family please do.
    Semper Fi!!!!!

  • jnobleverified member icon 13 months ago

    Thank you all so much for helping this young family in their time of need. I know times are hard for us all but together every little bit will make a huge difference to them. God Bless you all!!!!

  • OhHappyDay 13 months ago

    46sko, sometimes that is such good advice but sometimes, such as when one has been through a devasting fire, it is just not practical, is it? God bless the heroes who have come forward with generous donations and will continue to come forward. You will be rewarded ten-fold. ♥ ♥ ♥

    Jodie - I don't think there's a problem using your own paypal since you told everyone you were. I will favorite this wish. My husband doesn't get paid until Wednesday and I'll make a donation if I'm able. Thanks for all you're doing to help.

  • LilMama23 13 months ago

    I am a mother of two boys, 4 1/2 & 3 (on the 25th)! I live in newport news VA, not far from N.C. I am in a bit of a situation myself, (you can read my wish) but anything that I can do to help others I would be more than happy to :) I have plentyyy of Boys clothes, of all sizes, and they are in EXCELLENT condition, alot of them are brand new with tags still on them! I would be more than happy to share these clothes with a family in a need! Msg me with more details as to how I can get these clothes to you or the family! My prayers are with you and the family in need!

  • jnobleverified member icon 13 months ago

    Here is a link to the walmart wish list

    http://www.walmart.com/giftregistry/gr_detail.do?registryId=86201729071

    I have also changed the place of delivery which should now go to the Jacksonville walmart rather than the walmart here in Iowa

    I have also contacted Dave and asked for his permission to allow this family the use of my paypal for donations as they have no internet and no paypal themselves. I will be taking any and all funds donated to my paypal and putting the funds on a mastercard for them to get needed items.

  • magghemay27verified member icon 13 months ago

    I work in a thrift shop, and will check there when we open on Tues, to see if we have anything for the little one...do the parents need clothing also? If so, send sizes and I will look for them also.
