We have a man that comes to the Simple Gospel Church to get food that lives in a trailer with no lights , Heat, or water, in his home. He has one water faucet in the yard that is from a neighbors house and that is all the water that he has. He has a fire place in the trailer but no wood. He has no car and no job. We are trying to help this man to get some kind of heat before it gets down in the forty's. So please if anyone out there has any firewood that is already to burn and could donate enough for him to stay warm untill we can find him some way to have heat . Call Charlies Angels Cell 404- 304- 9894 and Darlene or Charlie will be glad to pick it up if not to far away. By warming this man's body you can have that good warm feeling in your heart knowing that you both can go to bed warm. So if you can't help this man with wood than say a little prayer for this man that God will supply him some heat in another way. God didn't say for us to ask this man how he got into this shape but he did tell us when we see someone in need that is our duty to help because next week it could be us. So if you can please help this man.God Bless if you can and God Bless if you can't. Weatherboy.

I have seen "free firewood" on craigslist before. I dont have a wood stove, so I've never checked into it, but its worth a try. Good Luck.

[SOLO]

I have some firewood that someone could come get... Now it has been outside so it will need to dry out some after the rain.

Thanks SOLO I will tell Darlene to get in touch with you. This man is a good worker if he only had a job and a way to get to work he might could get his life stright. Thanks so much for your help. I think he just needs a little encouragement and to know that someone cares. We all need someone to make it in this hard times.

I have some wood too from last year. It has not been covered though. I was getting ready to order some more so if someone can come get it he can have it. I don't have a truck so it will need to be picked up. PM if interested.

Thanks, I will let you know soon.

[krwills]

How about some warm blankets or clothing too? I might could help with something like that.

[MrsB]

What about food? I have no wood to donate, but I can contribute a bit of food. How is he getting meals if he has no power?

We are helping him with food. Thanks. He is eating sandwiches and can items.

[naturegirl]

I have some firewood I can donate. Not a whole lot because I need to order some more but no one should be cold. I would be willing to help with the gas or power bill, too. I live in Yorkville.

Well until I can help him get a job, he has no way to pay the power bill. And he is total electric.

Johnboy you are the greatest. I don't know how you do all that you do but I am glad that you do. We need a world full of people just like you. Darlene will call on you if they can't pick it all up. Thanks again my friend.

[meme12]

What does he do?

Yes, what does he do ?

[weatherboy]

Folks you are making this old man cry like a baby. I am sitting here with big tears of joy running down my face. It doesn't get any better than this. This is what God ment when he said to love one another as I have loved you. Greater love has no man than to lay down his life for a friend. You are my friend if you do what so ever I ask. Thank all of you for helping this man and God will remember you all. I believe with all of my heart that if you ever get in the same shape that this man is in that God will send you the same help that you are giving this man. God Bless you all.

[Charlies Angels]

What does he do?

His last job was installing garage doors. but I think he can do anything you ask him to do. If we can help him find a job bringin home say $100.00 a week that would be enough to pay his power bill and lot rent. That is all he needs to survive right now.

[weatherboy]

Yes, what does he do ?

The last job he had was fixing garage doors . I don't know what all he can do . I don't even know how old he is but he looks to be in his fifties.

[gwilli8866]

Well until I can help him get a job, he has no way to pay the power bill. And he is total electric.

How much does he owe and to who? Greystone or Ga Power? Maybe we can pay enough on his account to get him through a month or so if everyone will pitch in a little if they can. Let us know...

[P.C. Shopper]

We have some wood if he would like it too. Just let me know~

[SOLO]

Maybe he can do odd jobs for people to help him get by. with cold weather coming there should be things someone needs doing to get ready for it. I may have a job or two he can do.

Thank you Betty Jo I understand what you are saying.

[Madea]

I'm not sure if we have wood, but we do have a truck and trailer if you need help picking up wood.

[Lady Raider]

what else does this man need?

[naturegirl]

Maybe we can just take up a collection to get firewood man to bring him a load or someone can go get it. It's not that much for 1/2 cord, if we get enough, a whole cord.

[Lady Raider]

Charlie's Angels Does this man have any way of cooking anything?

or does he need sandwich items?

Darlene got him on food stamps but I don't know how much food that he has. Darlene said the man that owns the land that his trailer is on has not been payed for months so we are hoping that he will let him stay untill he can get a job and get things straighten out. She said that he said he would just go to a shelter for the homeless if it wasn't for his dogs. She can't ask for money because this has not been approved be CC which is my fault because I didn't know how to do that . So if we can just get him some wood to keep him warm for now maybe she can get with everyone later about the rest. Thanks and God bless. Keep smiling God is good.

[*Charlie*]

No he does not have no way to cook except for a small grill. He has enough food, it may not be everything he likes but he does have food. Darlene got him on food stamps and we give him plenty of other stuff.

Right now the concern is the cold weather, we got him some blankets last night but we are focusing on getting him some wood to burn in his fire place, with a fire also comes a means to cook.

The power bill, is an issue not so much as getting it turned back on as it is having him the means to keep it on, his water is from a well which him and a neighbor share, he has some broken pipes under the trailor which I am going to fix. The lot rent, Darlene spoke with the owner and he said he has no intention of evicting him he just needs to stay in contact with him so he knows he is trying, and he is he just keeps getting the doors shut in his face. With his living conditions he is not as presentable as someone with all of the ammenities of home, he is in his mid 50's and just needs a hand up until he can get his feet back under him

The gentleman has fell on some real hard times, long story short he has no car, no job and needs some help, we have been looking for a job, he is a hard worker he just can't find nothing within walking distance, if he could do odd jobs and make $100 a week he can get by, he just has no transportation.

Thank You to everyon e who has volunteered to help, we will be in contact. If you need some work done he is very willing to work you can contact me or Darlene and we can try to arrange it, he lives off Businees 6 about a half mile from Ingles.

Again Thank You for your help, concerns and prayers for this man.

[Lady Raider]

There was a member on here that needed some one to do a couple of hours sheet rocking can he do that?

[Charlies Angels]

How much does he owe and to who? Greystone or Ga Power? Maybe we can pay enough on his account to get him through a month or so if everyone will pitch in a little if they can. Let us know...

He owes it to greystone. His original bill is like $199 ( I think have to double check this again) however they want a reconnection fee of like $500.00. But my biggest concern is getting him a job to keep it up each month. I would hate to do all this and then it get cut right back off, because he has no way to pay it. I am trying to find him a job in walking distance. All he needs to make it is around $100.00 a week. That would pay his lot rent ( he owns the trailor- but not the land it sits on) and keep his power on.

There was a member on here that needed some one to do a couple of hours sheet rocking can he do that?

I will ask him today when we take the wood to him. he is willing to do anything--just not sure if knows how to do it. But he wants to do something.

[Charlies Angels]

We are picking some of the wood up today and some more tommorow in between church services. And maybe some more on Monday. So we can see what he has after all this.

what else does this man need?

I thought he had blankets, but I asked him last night and he said no. So we went and bought him three. One is the snuggi that he wears like a coat around the house. Two others just plain. I am not sure about his clothes. He does have a coat. I will find out more today when we go over there to take the wood.

I'm not sure if we have wood, but we do have a truck and trailer if you need help picking up wood.

I will let you know soon. Thanks so very much.

Yes he can do that. I will have to make sure he gets to wherever, but I can do that. He is not a very big man, but he is determinded and will work as long as there is something to do.

If the power company would be willing to work with him on the reconnection fee, maybe this is a possibility. I would be willing to donate what I could toward it. Wouldn't be much, but a little from many would make a lot. And, maybe enough could be collected to pay for a couple of months until he gets back on his feet. I don't have any wood to donate, but I would like to do something. We never know when it could be any one of us. I have always heard the majority of American's are 3 paychecks away from being homeless. Please let me know what I can do.
