This isnt an energy request. Its a request for help in getting relatives home to family.

We're in MA and my wife's niece is in TX with her 5 kids 13 and under (no hubby in picture). After having her 12yo daughter be sexually abused multiple times (twice we are sure of), as well as the loss of her job, she has decided she has to get back home here to MA with her family and support group. She has packed up her belongings, sold what she could, and we have contributed everything possible towards the four day trip to get here. The issue is its VERY close as to whether she can make it here with the expense of fuel, at least four motel stays, and food for herself and 5 kids. The funds are so tight she may have to skip feeding the kids for a day in order to make it on gas.

What we are looking for is some people who may be able to help - maybe with a small gift card for fuel, or to a fast food restaurant where she can feed them, or help with a motel stay or even if its a picnic basket of sandwiches and drinks she can stop at a truck stop and get from you along the way. Her route is going to take her from Witcha Falls to Ft Worth to Little Rock to Knoxville, To PA to Boston and she's planning on leaving Monday night. Whatever help you may be able to provide would have to be from a national chain, or from a business somewhere right along that path so thats she's able to redeem it along the way. If you think you can contribute a small something to help her out here we would be very grateful! Feel free to Private Message with any questions or offers you may want to contribute.

Thanks in advance!
