Well after looking it all over, their lucky to be around, the fire cheif said it was started by a faulty wire and had been burning inside the wall for atleast a day.

Everything is ruined, either it's wet, burned or smoke damaged, and the house has been condemed.

They were renters and had no insurance unfortunitly, so they are up shit creek without a paddle, my son is staying with us right now, and his wife and kids are at their mothers.

It's going to be tough on them, cause they have to basicly start over, but with help from the family they should be ok.

My son is a strong man and is taking this very good, the kids on the other hand are not, it's hard looking at those sad litle faces.

They lost all their new christmas toys and their home.

So im going to try and bring a little sunshine to them by starting a little toy drive for them, if you have any spare toy or toys, or anything you think a 10 and 12 year boys would like could you please find it in your hearts to donate to a needy cause.

If you feel you can help, please pm me for my mailing info, this is for a very good cause and will make two little boys very happy again.

Thank you for all your kind replys in this mornings coffee thread, and godbless you all. [img]smile.gif[/img]

Thanks for your replys guys,

Money is cool, as for their interest, they did collect action figures, thanks to granddad. [img]biggrin.gif[/img] they pretty much like anything, sports, football and hockey, they like video games( they had a ps1), board games, toy guns, Just typical boy stuff.

Im sure if your a guy, and you think it's cool or something you would play with as a 10yr old or 12yr old, im pretty sure they will like, im sure they will enjoy anything seeing how they have nothing.

Thanks for your help guys. [img]smile.gif[/img]

Think open, clean (relatively complete) toys would be ok?

ask Kim? he's fantastic when it comes to help. has helped me so much with toy drive and other things

ask Joe from Killertoys? he donated a truck full of stuff one year for the toy drive I did at the firehouse

would they be interested in regular spawn figures? I don't have any sports figs, but I have a lot of (opened, but for the most part complete and in good shape) spawn figures that need a home.

Yes spawn figures would be ok, they love spawn just like granddad does.

if I can get the coin together to ship a box, I'm sure I can scrape together a few things.

since I still AM a 12-tr old boy, I should be bang-on with my choices. [img]wink.gif[/img]
