Bob, you are a good person.

I have some pants I will box up tomorrow and see what else I can find and get it out later this week. Thanks for setting this up and helping out.

I wondered why I hadn’t heard from Marty, he usually calls me several times a week! He got his little dog from me about four years ago, and I’ve been in touch with him ever since. He is a pretty good sized fella, around 6’2” and prolly weighs a bit over two hundred, waist prolly 34-36, I hate that this has happened to him, and will prolly just run what I can dig up, down to him. My clothes won’t fit him, so will get him some money to run on!

So those 34/30 511 pants probably won’t fit him it sounds like I’ll keep digging.

I doubt my 34x32 pants will fit him if he's 6'2. I sent him a donation through paypal. I'll look and see what I've got in the totes downstairs. I wear mostly large shirts and coats though.

I'm glad this was posted and has stayed up. No matter if you had different opinions with a person here when they suffer a loss like this or go through a rough patch it's very admirable that people come together to try and help. I as I'm sure most would appreciate a hand up if it was us. I know I'm getting softer as I get older but I try to look at a situation like this put myself in their shoes. I'm fortunate that I'm not in his situation so there's a lot to be thankful for and it's easy to forget that. I know I have in the past.

BTW I don't know if I ever commented on his post here but I know I do agree with him on most things. I wish you the best Marty.

I don't do PayPal, can you send money to the shipping address?

If it’s a UPS store he should have a box there like a post office would. I just used PayPal it’s a secure way to pay without giving out your personal info.

… does anyone that uses PayPal have Venmo?

… we don’t do PayPal but my wife has Venmo we can send some help through .. then one of yall with PayPal can get it to Marty ?

.. let me know

I sent marty some money through paypal a few days ago but it shows that he hasn't accepted it yet. Can one of you guys who are in contact with him confirm if he has checked his paypal account? I sent it to martingoodwin@gmail.com.

Thanks

ol' dad

He responded after I sent him a PayPal amount so he knows its coming maybe he doesn’t know how to transfer it to his account yet.

PM sent

His email is martingoodwin56@gmail.com

You forgot the 56. You'll want to get a hold of paypal and cancel that transaction or if you can do it by going into paypal and take care of it that way. I know he's checking paypal because he got mine and sent me a thank you back.

Thanks badger. PayPal let me cancel the transaction. I'm going to resend it to the correct address.


Ol dad

I do not have Venmo but if you want to send me cash or check in the mail I can do it.

Has anyone been able to put together a go fund me page for Marty. I know he will be needing a camper and generator to really get back on track.

Now that he has some basic necessities on the way he will need a place to live once again.

… thanks Yote …. I’ve already been contacted by a member with Venmo and we’ve got a plan

You're welcome ol' dad.

Bob Jameson you're a heck of a good guy with all that you're doing to help him out. That goes for everyone else for helping as well.

TTT

Spent the day helping Marty yesterday. What a mess! Lost everything, and still sifting through it looking for anything he can salvage. He needs so much, it’s just shocking. You cant appreciate what has happened, without seeing it. I got home, and everything I had on was black!

Marty ask me to relay a huge THANK YOU to the t-man family for the kindness you have all shown to him. I echo that as well!

That area is supposed to get sub-zero temperatures and significant snow the next three days also.

Last I knew Marty was in a friend's unoccupied house in town. His friend doesn't live there so had the temps turned down fairly low but perhaps Marty has it turned up some now. Lee can probably update the situation but I don't think Marty is out in the cold.
