His name is David R. Maire. I am quite desperate at this point...I saw this message board and made a spur of the moment decision to appeal to you for your help - I truly don't know where else to turn.

message: I'm afraid I can't offer much as far as physical assistance goes being in southern CA. However, I can offer prayer for all of you and have been doing just that since wednesday, when I heard about the fire. I have a brother with a new wife in the Timbline area.
Also, ...If I may say so, I saw a message on this board by a couple of kids by the names of Jenna and Jordan. You sound like great people. That took a lot of courage to do what you did. Offering to give up your own teddy bear or dolly to someone else so they will feel comfortable is a very brave thing to do.
The Good Lord will reward you for your brave courage when you least expect it. :O) May God Bless all of you facing this vicious monster. ...I will be praying for you.

I have contacted your parents and they have recently returned to their home. Very nice people, and I have memories as a child watching them in the parades with their dog.

message: This is probably not helpfull, because I don't live in Nevada. I live in California, in Pine Grove which is on Hy 88 past Kirkwood. Since I'm rural and understand, my heart goes out to each and every one of you. I have 5 acres, two of them fenced. I have goats on the property now, but can offer this:
1) Horse or other livestock. Fenced with a covered barn stall.
2) Dog's (2 lg. or 3 small) Enclosed dog area (40 x 75) with a house and lots of shade.
3) Cats, in my home with my cats.
I cannot transport livestock but my property is available. If you need to have a place to keep your pets/horses/livestock (again small numbers) they will be well cared for and you won't have to worry about them and will be able to concentrate on what you need to take care of. Sorry I can't offer more. All of you are in my prayers. You can e-mail me at "foothillsman2001@yahoo.com"

name: RJ
message: Having watched this fire burn for 2 days make me sick to my stomach to think about all those people who have been affected by it.
I want to do something to help. What can I do to help? I have already brought my jeep load of cold gatorade and water for the firefighters. I heard that there is an over-abundance of generously donated food at shelters already. I live in Gardnerville. My teenage son and I can help with "man power" -- delivering things, moving supplies, moving people....anything else that might help?
Can I do something for our local fire station and firefighters in Minden who are also fighting this fire? What kind of things/supplies would help them?

name: Dulce Setterfield
message: My parents are elderly (86 & 79) and evacuated Lakeview home with dog & cat. Request: a friendly call from someone local to lighten their spirits, please. Don't know if they have immediate needs. Home # in case they returned to Lakeview is 775-882-6807. Otherwise, try the local Days Inn. Ask for Robert & Marian Setterfield. Some people may know my Dad. He rode motorcycle with dog in Nevada Days Parade for many years and plays sax in Tahoe Dance Band. I am sure he and my mom will help lighten others' spirits as they get over the immediate impact to their own property. So it would be good if they are in the loop with local communication network. Thank you from Dulce Setterfield in Seattle.
