Mike and Michelle - House fire

Friends - Please help Mike and Michelle (Chagnard) Scheel - GKHS Class of 1987 -  recover from a house fire.  They are old friends of mine who live in Metairie and they lost everything that they own in an apartment fire, today, September 4, 2014.  We are trying to assist them and their 2 sons with relocating and starting to rebuild their lives. Every little bit helps.  Thanking you in advance for anything that you can give. If you would like to contact me to donate anything else that they may need - sheets, blankets, towels, dishes, anything - please do so.  You may contact me by sending a message through gofundme.  Messages will go straight to my email.  Everything they own was either lost to fire, lost to smoke, or has been too badly damaged by water to be saved.  They are in need, and we can help.  EVERY PENNY HELPS!!  Thanks so much for your generosity!!! 

Additional information:
Here are the clothing sizes from Michelle Scheel for herself, her sons and her husband: Mike Sr., Mike Jr, Matt - 2x shirts, underwear, and undershirt... 44 pants (Matt and Mike, Jr,); Big Mike, 40 pants.

Thanks so much for your generous donations.
