this is from anc 5C-03 commish stu davenport:
Neighbors-
This morning there were 2 large fires in our neighborhood where the families lost almost everything.
I just spoke with Kim Stancil from 11 Randolph NW, and she and her 5 children (three of whom are students at Emery Elementary) were left with nothing but the clothing on their backs.
Most immediately Ms. Stancil and her family need clothes and funds to provide for essential needs. They have housing for the next 3 days through the Red Cross, and she is working with Ted McGinn and Stacy Jackson from Emery to get local and government help. She is also reaching out to local churches and the Ecumenical Council.
I am writing to ask for immediate help from the community.
1. Priority is Clothing
Boy 17 - Size 32W/30L pants, Med Shirt
Girl 15 - Size 16 Pants, 2XL Shirt
Girl 11 - Size 8 Pants, L Shirt
Boy 5 - Size 7 pants, Men's Med Shirt
Boy 4 - Size 6 pants, 6 shirt
2. Financial Assistance
Checks can be made payable to: Ms. Kim Stancil
All items can be left ( or shipped) at the main office of Emery Elementary at 1720 1st Street, NE 20002 (202)576-6034
or the Big Bear Cafe at 1700 1st Street, NW 20001
Thank you all for your generosity and concern.

How long is Big Bear going to be a drop-off point?
Are cash donations accepted?
Will they accept donations of canned goods, toiletries, or household items?
I hope they like skinny jeans...
Can we donate gift cards?
i would imagine that they would be grateful for anything you guys care to donate.
I know this family and they're really nice people. its great how interested everyone is in helping out.
i still haven't heard anything about the family from the house in the 2200 block of North Capitol that burned. If anyone has contact information and a means to pass on help to them, please let us know.
Any need for shoes? If so, then it would be helpful to know shoe size information.
i've asked for the shoe sizes needed, but havent heard back yet. when i do i'll add it to the post.
Do they need some mumus?
they do need socks.
Let us know if and when they need household items. Someone I work w/has towels -- my guess is they're very nice.
Do they need carebear flip flops? I have plenty.
Nice information. While I was looking for more information about donating clothes, I found the site http://www.donatingclothes.com - not much there yet, but maybe later.
