Do you happen to know what size clothes the family wears? Shoes? Etc?
ReplyDeleteCurious....Why is Choptank Electric accepting donations on this family's behalf? Is it because they were the ones that cut off the electric of this family (in the winter), causing them to use kerosene heaters in the first place? And now they're feeling some sense of responsibility?? Interesting. Those of us that are forced to use Choptank know how they operate and in times when some do struggle to pay their electric bill, they don't care about your hardships, they just cut you off. I wonder if this is what happened with this family. It's a tragedy that should not have happened. My thoughts are with this family as they recover and heal in many ways.
ReplyDeleteJoe, I work at Pittsville school. We had a casual day today and the proceeds will go to the family.
