What items do these people need? Where can items be taken? Can Channel 6 host a link to support this help?

If you'd like to help, you can contact the couple's case agent at the Red Cross.

I would be more than happy to share my Thanksgiving dinner with this wonderful couple. I'd be willing to deliver the dinners to them if needed. I can be reached at [e-mail] Thanks!

Do you know if we should call the Richmond Red Cross?? I am not sure who to contact..

[NY Peach]

What do these people need and how do it get to them. Its sad when a government agency is so backed up that it cannot expedite a service that is obviously needed

[lucy]

My heart just melted towards this couple. I will be calling the red cross tomorrow morning to see what I can do to help.

[Abster]

We'll also call and see what we can do. We need to all come together as neighbors in times like these. All agencies are so limited with funds there is very little they'll be able to do for YEARS. Count your blessings everyone.

[Leslie Boone]

I am can paint and do some minor repairs. I will also donate cleaning supplies. How can I get in touch with them?

I would like to help the Gaines clean the house so they will be able to live in the house and i got my own cleaning supplies. when can i come to help so Mr Gaines want have to go up dirty steps

I belong to an organization that would love to help this couple out with fixing and cleaning this home, however I noticed in the artical you stated the fire was Septerber 11, 2009. Why hasn't the City Inspector decided if the home is structurely sound. I think the puplic needs to know this before committing to clean and fix the property. Please let the public know the answer to this question so we may help this loving couple.

So..I guess we need to know if help should be to clean and repair the exsisting property or look at other avenues to relocate this couple.

[The Turners]

NOW is the time for all denominations and the Body of Christ to come together with love, compassion, grace, mercy, and support with all hands on board. Let all of us ensure ALL their needs are met. Even in their midst of loss, they are still thankful. Ready to roll up our sleeves. See everyone soon.

[Lisa Holloway]

Me again...We are located in Richmond, not Warrenton.

[cindi and robert thomas]

[Cindi Thomas]

Just want to know?Do this couple have other family memeber,children, or church memebers ? Someone had to have been visiting them and seen how they were living since September. Come on even the people in the community . Especially the neighbor that contacted the couple when there home was on fire. Noone seen any cleaning or repair crew coming over to do anything. Didn't that ring a bell.Most of all look at the date Sept.11th(911) the same day the world trade center tragedy. So we all came together for that reason and we were all concern about the lives of those who survive. So we now have the same crisis here at home and we need to help them keep their home. To which its all they have to hold onto.

[Bev]

Contact me at [e-mail] for my assitant with whatever the community decided to do. Please contact me. Also I will be contacting the redcross. GOD BLESS THEM AND KEEP THEM COVERED IN FAVOR. AMEN

Jackie, you can contact the Richmond Red Cross and ask for Patricia Gaines' "case worker". Thanks so much.
