We do not currently have any specifically requested materials.
Thank you so much for your support!
Patti, Rebecca and Dawn
On September 4, 2011 wildfires broke out across drought-ridden Bastrop County in Texas. Eventually joining to become one massive fire, the Bastrop Complex Wildfire burned 1554 homes, including those of more than twenty homeschooling families.
I will send out all homeschool books I have. I don't have many on the list above, but what I have are great and in good shape. May God bless you all<3
ReplyDeleteJessica, thank you so much! God bless you!
ReplyDeleteWhat level of TOG Year 1 is needed?
ReplyDeleteIf you contact The Book Samaritan they may be able to help you fill these needs.
ReplyDeleteAlso HSLDA is giving grants out to families affected by the recent natural disasters, according to an email I received from them.
Irene: TOG Year 1, Units 3 and 4, lower grammar. Thank you!

ReplyDeleteThat is the My Father's World Kindergarten Deluxe Pkg. Farrah

ReplyDeleteThank you so much to our generous donors... We have crossed Horizons Math 2 Workbooks, MFW K Literature and Artistic Pursuits 2 off the list! We are so grateful!
ReplyDeleteIs the textbook and the workbook needed for Story of The World vol. 1?
ReplyDeleteDo you need a computer? It is nothing big (was the kids' computer) but works well and has a monitor.
ReplyDeleteOnly the textbook was requested for Story of the World vol 1.
ReplyDeleteDeanna, would you email wildfirehelp@yahoo.com and we can see about who we could get it to? I know many computers were lost.
ReplyDeleteI have a gently used like brand new IEW core I will send if you still need it. I have several other items packed away I can look through and then I will send these over the weekend. We are keeping you in our prayers. Mary
ReplyDeleteI have a lot of books, but only one or two that are listed. Should I send them anyway in hopes someone can use them?

I have SOTW vol 3 textbook in PB to send.

I was just about to take boxes of boys' clothes, sizes 3, 4, 5, 6, and 7, summer and winter, underwear to coats, to Goodwill. Is this anything the families can use?
ReplyDeleteI'm also going through our curriculum shelves, weeding out those items we no longer need. I've already discovered boxes of chalk, crayons and foam craft supplies, as well as handwriting practice sheets for pre-school and kindergarten and some early reader books.
I teach college-level history; can any of the families use college/high school-level anthologies of history primary sources? I have several I can send on.

Mary, yes, that family does still need the IEW core. Would you email wildfirehelp@yahoo.com if you will be able to send it? Thank you so much!
ReplyDeleteDenise, would you send a list of the books you are willing to donate to wildfirehelp@yahoo.com? We can let you know what is still needed from your list. Thank you!
ReplyDeleteKimberly, thank you! We do still need a copy of SOTW v. 3.
ReplyDeleteKaren, the clothing needs in the area have been amply met, thank you. I think the primary source anthologies could be useful references. Thank you!
ReplyDeleteI ave so much that I have sitting on
ReplyDeletecan we talk to make sure you get what you need and have to get rid of what you do not need
Share with all for Christ

ReplyDeleteIEW Core making its way to you. Mary
ReplyDeleteIf you receive an overage of an item, do you plan to pass along to another community? I just heard the news if a fire in San Marcos.
ReplyDeleteI have a couple of elementary dictionaries and some educational games that I can send if they are still needed.
ReplyDeleteI will send Runaway Bunny, and pissibly some children's lit and educational games. I have Hour of the Olympics on CD. I will send that if the family can use it. Please let me know.
ReplyDeleteHeather in Virginia
"possibly" ---- typo
ReplyDeleteMary, we are so grateful for that IEW core! It arrived and is already in the happy hands of the family who needed it. :-)
ReplyDeleteRegarding items we receive that are not on our "current needs" list:
ReplyDeleteWe have set up a library of sorts... you could call it a free homeschooling store. I will be posting pictures of it on the blog soon. The families are free to come in and take whatever they need to rebuild their libraries. We anticipate this aspect of our effort to last for a while because few families have room for much yet; many are still in small temporary housing, and no one will be truly home soon.
Once all the families have had ample opportunity to take all that they would like, we plan to liquidate what remains, with all proceeds going to the families. We will prioritize financial assistance to those without insurance.
We are open to the possibility of shifting resources to other disaster relief areas. I am happy to say that the fire in San Marcos on Saturday was contained with no structure loss. There was another one there yesterday, one house lost.
Unfortunately things are dangerous throughout Central Texas - historic drought combined with strong winds means we remain on high alert. Within the Bastrop Wildfire perimeter there are small fires cropping up almost every day due to smoldering trees. The sound of fire planes and helicopters flying overhead has become normative (we live a mile outside the perimeter).
Heather, Runaway Bunny and Hour of the Olympics are still needed. Thank you!
ReplyDeleteA Tale of three trees~ on its way from Amazon.com. I have boxes full of "1-subject " notebooks, is this something that could be used? If so, I will mail them today.
ReplyDeleteMichelle, thank you so much - we needed that book! We do have enough notebooks now, but thank you. :-)
ReplyDeleteI have a copy of "Well-Trained Mind" I am not using. I can send it, but not until next week due to an out of town trip this weekend.
ReplyDeleteHeidi, that would be wonderful! We still need "A Well Trained Mind." Thank you!
ReplyDeleteQuick prayers for Patti, please! A new fire has started not far from her! She and the two other moms behind this effort in Bastrop are doing God's work to help these families so devastated by fires. Please pray for their safety and the safety of their families, properties, emotions, etc. THANK YOU! Dana Wixson
ReplyDeleteI think I put my comment in the wrong place:
ReplyDeleteJust purchased The Chronicles of Narnia Boxed Set from Amazon. It's on it's way.
God Bless all these families!!
