Hey Val, Fema is out there, just not in public view yet. As fast as they try to move, it still takes time... waters need to recede, damage assesments to be done, buildings found, rented, staff comes from all over the country, logistics nightmares...but we are on contract to deploy within 12-24 hours notice so once the set up gets going, things happen quickly. Hoping I get this deployment, but most likely not. But I'll be there anyway for Vinces party!
Keith Urban was just on CNN, said there will be many benefit concerts to come. This city has lots of wealthy musicians willing to help their neighbors which will really be beneficial to the community to recover quickly. -------------------- ~Pam~

I now have the donation account information if anyone is interested in helping Cathy at this time. I have emailed those of you that have contacted me via email. If you would like to help please email me at lmallory@cogeco.net and i will forward the account information to you.
Cathy wants everyone here to know that she appreciates this help more than any of us could ever know. She is devastated by what has happened but is trying to stay as positive as she can. She will be at the fan club party in June. |

Thank you for taking care of this for Cathy, Leah. I hope we can all band together as a fan-family to help out one of ours.
Fema may come in and help her get some kind of housing - but she still needs clothing/food/cleaning stuff and a car. I know she needs some help. |

Can't thank you enough for getting this set up, Leah. Please let us know if there are any other immediate needs from Cathy.

Thank YOU all that are helping out....I am just the messenger to get a ball rolling but it is everyone here that is helping out so much. For those of you that have asked for the account info...please email me again if I haven't emailed you back with the info. I spoke to the bank this morning and have all of the updated info that we need to make deposits.
Also if any of you are interested in donating a gift card to cathy (whether it be to a restaurant, target, grocery store etc) please bring it to the fan club party and we will put them all in a gift basket to give her that day. I have a few other items coming for the basket that I think will make cathy's day. Becky...I do have a PO Box address for Cathy if you want to send those clothes we were talking about I can give you the address. Cathy says that the people there know her situation and will accept packages on her behalf. Thanks again all.....there are no other fans like Vince's fans.  |

Glad to hear the gift basket is a go. After the immediate disaster and rush of things to do is being handled, most people experience a depression of sorts and this will hopefully help lift her spirits. Even discount coupons would be something to consider, helps to save money on whatever items she will need to purchase from toothpaste on up!

I just wish I lived closer to be able to help more people. With so many people in need right now it is just heartbreaking to know that there are so many people that are just turning a blind eye to those in need and so many people that just aren't aware of the devastation. I was thinking that it would be a great idea to either have a food drive or used clothing drive at the fan club party to help Nashville even in a small capacity. I have emailed johanna about the idea...what do you all think of the idea?
I am so happy that we are able to help out Cathy as much as possible...this is just an extention of us Vince fans helping the city we all love so much. |

We are driving so I am definitely able to bring clothing, food whatever and I can also buy some supplies while in town. Will wait to hear from johanna to see what she will allow us to do at the party.

Just wanted to update everyone on Cathy. I just got off the phone with her and it looks like she might have somewhere to move into. They are working on the house and she has to pay to turn on the electricty and might be able to move in next week. There are no appliances but she said she will make due. She was happy because she found out that someone had found something that her mother had left to her and it was one of 2 items that she was able to save from the flood....the other item being a hatch show print of Vince and Amy. Everything else was lost....all her clothing and shoes were not able to be saved so she was happy that she was able to get to Walmart to buy a pair of $14 dollar pants and a few other necessities....bless her heart. Again she wanted me to let you all know how thankful she is for the help. At this point she is totally starting over so I am sure anything she get's will help her in a huge way. 14 people have contacted me to help her and that is just awesome.....that help will go a long way in getting her back on her feet I'm sure.
If anyone else would like to help please email me and I will send you the information needed. |

Thanks Leah for the update on Cathy....I mailed the bank a check for her today (Couldn't figure out how to do the transfer online). Hopefully it will make it into her acct shortly.

A good friend of mine in Nashville just contacted me and wants to help Cathy out. She is going to contribute some money to the donation account and also wants Cathy to go to a lunch she is hosting at her house on Sunday. Pam is one of the nicest ladies you would ever want to meet and told me that she wants to talk to Cathy to see how else they can help being that they live so close to her. There are angels on earth and it is amazing to see such compassion pouring out to those that need it most.

That's great to hear, Leah! I have been in touch with Ken O'Neil and he asked for info to make a donation to Cathy as well. So you can add him to numbers of people that are making donations.
I will be calling Cathy first of next week and plan to drive up to Nashville one day next week with some things for her. I plan to take a computer up to her so I'm hoping she will be back online soon! -------------------- Becky
