Some good friends of mine in Renton are about to be thrown out of their mobile home because they are unable to make their rent payment. (they have lived there for over 10 years) She has had 3 heart attacks and has multiple health issues, including pneumonia but has been turned down for Social Security. Her husband used to work for Boeing, but was laid off last year and has been unable to find a job since. (it's tough once you hit 50) Sheriff served them notice today to vacate by monday or they will be physically thrown out into the street. Does anyone have any ideas where I can get help for them? I am at wits end trying to think of something. I have driven them around to these places and helped keep their Jeep running ( Their old car lost it's trans last spring and I fixed up a $200 XJ for them) They have already contacted the Red Cross and several local churches (they were all financially stretched beyond helping them) ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 10 Dec 2004 03:54:00 -0500 From: "Jesse Barbieri" Subject: xj: Re: Don't know what to do I am terribly sorry to hear this.

I know that they have paid rent and for prescriptions among other things. So if a Catholic church hasn't been contacted then it is worth a shot. - -----Original Message----- From: owner-xj-at-digest.net [mailto:owner-xj-at-digest.net] On Behalf Of Jim Blair Sent: Friday, December 10, 2004 1:22 AM To: me Subject: xj: Don't know what to do First, I know this is offtopic, but I don't know what to do.

Haven't actually seen it yet. Will an older nonHO swap w/o too much difficulty? Any drastic changes needed? Thanks Miah __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!
