Is there a thread to coordinate sending something to Mari?

[Ilsa]

I don't know where to send flowers or anything. Has someone started a thread to coordinate this? I wish I could do something.

1. what happened?

[stellanoir]

2. sadly,

her husband died yesterday in a tragic car crash. She posted last night around midnight.

[Kahuna]

13. OMG!! How awful. She must be a wreck.

:cry:

[tandot]

3. Oh NO...I just read last nights thread

How unimaginable. What else does she have to go through???

If there is a way to give some money, please let me know. Maybe paypal? Maybe Skinner can arrange something?

I also think she might need money more than flowers.


I keep her in my thoughts and prayers. I am so saddened. :cry:

[skooooo]

4. Maybe ...

....they'll let her son come home because of this? So sorry to hear this.

[tandot]

8. Yes, her son should come home

She can't deal with that by herself while having to worry about her son in Iraq.

I've nominated this thread for the home page. We have to keep this thread active

6. I think you might be right. I think a donation

might be the best thing to help her with expenses. I wonder if Skinner could arrange for something to be gathered up nfor her.

I am still hyperventillating over this horrible news.

9. I was wondering if they have to pay for her son to come home from Iraq.

Maybe we can make a donation to help pay for that expense, or any others that result from this tragedy.

14. I would hope that they'd send him home

on a military transport at the Army's expense, maybe with wounded or whatever. God, talk about adding insult to injury, by asking him to pay his way home to his dad's funeral. That is beyond disgusting. But you may be very, very right...

10. That is horrible.

I am sorry to hear this. :cry:

[RedEarth]

11. I was wondering the same thing....perhaps Skinner could coordinate

something for the folks here at DU

[supernova]

12. How awful!

My condolences to Mari and her family. :-(

26. My God!

that poor woman! Yes let's raise money to bring her son home.

[myrna minx]

27. What that poor woman has been through...

I can't even imagine what kind of nightmare this must be for her. I agree, we should raise funds to bring her son home. :cry:
