That is wonderful becky! We are up to 18 people strong in helping her out now. It will be a long road for her as she has to start all over again but just knowing that she has this support behind her will make a world of difference I think. Nobody wants to be alone in a situation like this and the outpouring of love for her is truly amazing! I have only met cathy a few times and some of you have never met her and to see that so many care is just awesome!

****CATHY UPDATE*****(I feel like a news reporter...lol)
I just got off the phone with Cathy and had to share. She called because she was so excited to be in a new house. She was able to rent a house for the same money as her old place because it is in need of alot of work. Her landlord was nice enough to give her a few old beds that she had and she still has to get a fridge but she was happy to be able to have the electricity and water turned on and is able to stay there tonight. So it is still a little shaky but she has a roof over her head and is off to a good start. Fema told her that they would contact her in about a week and she is still waiting to hear from her insurance company about what they are doing about her car. She will need everything from towel to dishes to clothes etc but the money we were able to pool together will definitely help her get started with that. She wanted me to tell everyone again how so very thankfull she is for the help that so many have been able to give. I think she is still shocked at the outpouring of love and concern and told me she doesn't know how to thank everyone enough (bless her heart). So that is the daily update. Becky is going out to see Cathy on Friday with a computer and some supplies so maybe she can update us on how she is doing when she gets home.  |

That's great news, Leah! I'm so glad to hear that Cathy has a new place!
I'll be calling Cathy tomorrow to find out where her new place is so I can take her these things on Friday. Hopefully, we can get Cathy back online! I'll 'report' back after my trip in Friday. I'm anxious to get these things up to Cathy and get a chance to talk to her and see what else she is in need of at the moment. But on the other hand, I'm sure that it's going to be rather sad to see with my own eyes what has happened to Nashville. I feel like I'm mourning for this city and all the wonderful people that live there and have lost so much. -------------------- Becky

BREAKING NEWS
(That one was for you anna) I just want to say that I am so proud to be in the fold of such loving and caring people. When I found out about Cathy's situation I immediately put out the call for help because I know that there are no kinder people than Vince's fans. I want you to know that as of yesterday there was almost $2000 deposited into Cathy's donation account and I know that there is still money on the way. What an amazing outpouring of generosity from loving people that dropped everything knowing that someone (we all hardly know) was in such need. This money will help Cathy start to rebuild her life and get situated in her new place. As a group we have made a lasting difference in someone's life and life story ...how amazing is that? Thank you all so much for being on board with this....you are angels. |

I definitely will pass along that BIG FAN HUG to Cathy tomorrow!
I'm looking forward to seeing her tomorrow! I'm just so happy she has been able to get a new place and so happy and thankful for all the generosity of all the folks here! Thanks again for organizing all of this, Leah. Vince's fans definitely have big hearts, but we also needed someone to take it upon themselves to get the ball rolling!!!

Thanks for the update on Cathy's situation, I'm so glad that she has somewhere to live. I was able to get to the post office today and send some money for the bank to put in her account. I will be coming to the fan club party next month and will be happy to contribute further. Look forward to hearing your update Becky, I'm glad I'm not the only one who feels like she has been in mourning.

I think a lot of us think of Nashville as our 2nd home. It just hurts see this happen to all these places that we love so much and to know what people like Cathy are going through. It's just heartbreaking...
On a good note, I have been in touch with Cathy and everything is a 'go' for the trip to Nashville to see her tomorrow! Cathy and I are both directionally challenged, so I hope I'm able to find her...LOL! -------------------- Becky
