Well,
We were able to raise $150.00. Erik (Patrick) and I went to walmart.  We bought a Christmas dinner for the family and got gift cards for the kids.  We then found out that the mother's work rallied together and raised $2500 plus a truck of household goods and found them a house.  With that I called back to Red Cross to see if their was a family that was not taken care of after the news story on Fox 4 last night.  We found that there was a single Father of 2 children who had not received any help from other avenue.  So we took the dinner and gift cards and presented them to that family.  We left one of the color new comer handouts with the message of "Merry Christmas From the Shire of Loch Ruadh"

Thanks to all who donated as we made a difference in this family's life.  He was astounded that a group would go out on such short notice to help a complete stranger.
