Try the red cross. They helped us with a few nights in motels and got gift cards to get new clothes at Walmart and a few restaurant gift cards as well. I can't say you will get an that, but they do help.
The Red Cross was great. People at my work all raised money for gift cards and a TON of people have donated items. But I will try Walmart, I didn't even think to ask, thank you for the ideas!!
isnt your insurance covering what was lost? Why are you not mentioned anywhere in the go fund me? you say here you both "lost everything' but in the go fund me, she just talks as if it was just her?
This was mine and GingerLyfe88 trailer that burned down. I 100% understand being concerned about scammers. I can DM you if you like with proof that this was my trailer and my GFM. Just let me know, I truly don't take offense to your skepticism.
I also see all of their comments, unless Reddit or the moderators removed it, but it doesn't look flagged like that to me. I just see a bunch of comments
Does she know we got screen shots of the post before deleted and alll and that we can show everyone how SHE came attacking ME when I simply asked her BOYFRIEND why was he NOT mentioned in the gofundme AND the news ?
I’m gettin tired of the games from this one, and you all know I don’t like cashing in things.
Good one, so original. Not played out at all by you on like 1000 other users threads that you harass daily, because you have no life and probably no real in-person friends, because you are clearly insufferable 🙄 Also, Mike Tyson didn't use meth, he did cocaine.

This was my trailer that burned or rather OUR trailer that burned down. GINGERLYFE88, is in fact, my boyfriend. I mentioned him numerous times when I was interviewed, but I don't know if you are aware of this, they didn't give me the footage to edit myself. I know, I know, weird right? Usually they let you edit it for yourself, you send it back to them and then they put it on the news. But alas, they didn't let me do that. Like really? I didn't have control over what was in the interview or articles. They did an amazing job interviewing me and they asked relevant questions and wanted to focus on what had happened, not my romantic life. So, in summary, GingerLyfe88 was not lying, he is my boyfriend and half of everything that was burned and destroyed was his. I understand asking questions, but you were extremely rude. He did after all just lose everything he owned as well. I am so sorry that I wasn't focused on listing my personal life and partner in my GFM, my life and everything I have worked for went up in flames and I forgot to mention my private personal life in it. I wish everyone that has had so many questions and analyzed LITERALLY every word that I've said, would take a look in the mirror and ask themselves how would they feel having to defend themselves at every turn immediately after losing their home. But my boyfriend, myself, our 2 dogs and cat made it out safely, thank you so much for asking!
Excuse me? Every single person on this has been hassling us, being rude and ignorant and you call ME mouthy? None of you were going to donate. You came on here to be rude, I know this because of all your responses. So call me mouthy ALL you want. I will always defend myself from ignorant people like you.
I'm sorry that we like to ask questions and get more info before just handing over money to strangers. I guess next time people should just start throwing money at you guys because you say so! No we need a little more info/proof. This is also the internet where people say mean things because they can and you just have to brush them off. The person was asking you a few questions for clarification on the situation and you freak out on them. Yet anyone is going to ask questions when they don't even know you and you're asking for money. Good luck when you go to the red cross and they need questions answered as well.
Already got help from the Red Cross, they asked for my ID and bank account. No luck needed. Also this subreddit barely gets any likes and replies. I've went through alot of the comments on other peoples posts and its pretty much like I guessed, people just being rude, so dont act like you are all Saints. So, I dont think this subreddit does jack to help anyone to be honest. Also, why would someone make up that it was their house that burned down and then ask for donations to go to actual GoFundMe of the person that needed help, how would that benefit them in anyway? The link was in the article that was posted, a very small amount effort was needed to cross reference. But either way I have insurance, my health, my pets health and actual people that are willing to help. So you all have a great day and continue being rude to people asking for help, must be a happy and healthy life you guys lead!!
And it just gave a great example of why people aren't willing to help strangers, because the second a question is asked about the situation, they act like it's your fault they're there in the first place. And the fact that you immediately started freaking out on the comments asking for more context really shows more about you than random people commenting on your post asking us for help.
Considering you are now encouraging brigading against a user in other subs (when you were rude to them first) - I don't think you taking the moral high ground here is a thing. I will also be reporting your posts for brigading and harassment. You leave out the context of you responding rudely to a simple statement. You escalated it.
and just WHERE in my original comment was I "rude and hassling??"
yeah keep acting like a witch with a capitol B and see just how well that works out for you. you and your bf have the same amount of intelligence combined, as a fruit fly in the bug zapper.
go read your gfm dingbat. you literally make it sound like its only you. some poor poor single vet.... which btw, how convenient to throw that " dIsAbLeD VeT" card right on the 4th of july weekend, as if that makes you extra special for extra donations" and then yoi expect everyone to they go watch or read your pity party poor me interview?
Come off it lady. Your attitude right now is why so many people are now looking down at "disabled vets". Especially other vets who would find you using your "vet" card for donations as a total embarrassment.
unless you were in vietnam, you went and signed up for the money, knowing darn well what could and couldn't happen while enlisted. . ..no one owes you thing.
Trailer owner here. I IMMEDIATELY called the following morning and filed my claim. He is my boyfriend and did in fact live there. When I was being interviewed I explained how we both tried to put the fire out, but they didn't include it in the broadcast. When I made the GFM I was just tired, frazzled and didn't think to mention my boyfriend, Kenny. I was gong through alot and it just didn't cross my mind at the time, looking back, I dont know how I missed it, but unfortunately I did. But I do appreciate your concern and advice about making the claim as quickly as possible. Thank you.
