Help a fellow shipmate

A fellow mshipmate and his wife lost their jobs before Christmas. Their bank is calling in the note on the house for $5000 due the 12th Jan. Any help would be grateful . there son is a Marine and is off on duty. So he is unaware of their situation. I and my fellow ship mates would be grateful for any donations for our fellow shipmate to keep his house until he can get back on his feet.
