Brief update from Mom this morning

We are receiving supplies today tools and other things we need through MFI. They are not delivering "regular" mail so if you all really want to send a package - get permission from MFI by phone if they will accept your contribution as "relief aid" because that is ALL they are transporting now -

We have what we need for now and there is much relief available and we are getting contacts with some of it. We have someone bringing us diesel and gas from the DR. We need to work out where we can store it all - we don't have a truck big enough to get it all here.

We are really ok with food and Uncle Roger came with some antibacterial wipes, batteries, lots of other stuff.

We are receiving the crisis relief funds through people coming in so we really are doing well. The shower bag is working and we're getting a way to filter water set up so things are coming along.

Uncle Roger made me feel better this morning when we had those aftershocks. He said unless we have something bigger than the 7. Whatever we had the first night our houses are safe. It is still very unsettling when the aftershocks hit - as Karen can tell you since I was talking to her and yelled and ran out of the house!
