One of our own needs help

Imagine if your house burned down. With only a short time to gather a few belongings and throw them into your car, what would you save?

Unfortunately, one of our edublogger colleagues, Barbara Barreda, is facing exactly this situation right now. Please read more at the web site set up by Clarence Fisher and Jen Wagner and donate generously during her time of need. If you don’t have any extra funds or clothes right now, even some supportive wishes would be most welcome.

Barbara is a wonderfully thoughtful blogger and administrator. She and I have been trading messages and resources for over a year about effective (and ineffective) grading practices. Anything you can do to help her (including passing this post along to others) would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you.

Thank you so much for extending the helping hand here.

I have been told by my pastor that she will start to truly feel the affects of this in about 5 weeks -- which puts it right at Christmas time.

If your readers could mark on their calendars to perhaps send Barbara a "thinking of you card", perhaps a gift card (lowes, barnes and noble, etc) about the 20th of December -- that would be a blessing as well.

I will be updating http://www.jenuinetech.com/bbfund.htm with HER address in the next hour or so.

Thanks ever so much!

Scott,

Thanks for the post. I'll be forwarding it around to all the principals in my regional organization.

I will certainly pass this on as I can only imagine how I would feel if the items I treasure as memories such as all the photographs I have saved over decades and the photographs I have collected from grandparents being lost in such devastation. Best of luck.

What a great example of the blogging community helping one another. I will definitely be giving and forward to others.
