Recently the McCall family lost everything in a house fire.

Their 17 year old son woke up in the first floor living room to find a couch ablaze from a fire in the basement below. He ran upstairs, woke his parents, and attempted to gather the rest of the family; eventually with his father's help lifting them

That's awful; those poor people. I don't know them, but online friends do. I gave a donation, for lack of anything better to do for them.

Thank you for cross posting this. The fire, and death of Tegan are hitting the St Louis community as a whole, as well as the smaller Sci-Fi community, and Pagan community here, very hard.
The McCall/Ledbetter family has touched a lot of people with their story. Even just spreading the word, helps. The more who know, the more can help.
Even if all you can do is send some positive, healing energy, or say a prayer, it all helps start healing this wounded family.

Signal Boost... paying forward:

Bud and Dawn were a St. Louis couple with four children, struggling as many of us do - Bud had been laid off from his job, a very common occurrence here in the sunny Midwest. Unfortunately, their load became much heavier last weekend
