I would like to say a huge thank you to the Red Cross Disaster Response Unit. I was burned out of my home this summer from a fire that broke out in my building. 2 ladies from this unit stayed half the night with me at the hospital. Further, the Red Cross blanket that you gave me was more appreciated than you can imagine...it was all I had for comfort. Not only that, this unit paid for me to stay in a hotel for 3 days, all meals included, gave me a voucher for McDonald's to get something to eat before arriving at the hotel, paid the taxi fare, and also provided me with a voucher for Wal-Mart to purchase some clothing, as I left my home with the clothes on my back. I also want to say thank you to the cab driver for patiently waiting while I was in getting some food, as well as the paramedics on site who pulled me out of my smoke-filled home, and the staff at Hotel-Dieu for their compassion. Had it not been for all of you, I don't know what would have happened...I had only been living in this city a few short months, and with no friends/ family here, I don't know where I would have gone. It was an unfortunate way to spend my birthday, but all of you made a horrible situation a lot easier to contend with. You have all been spotted.
