Please donate what you can to the Red Cross,lord knows they are going to help everyway they can but they need our support as well since some of you think that this would never happen to you, I hope not but if it did you would be crying expecting someone to give you cash.

not only did the women in tha apartment lose everything, but it is christmastime keep that in mind. My friend lives in the apartment under this one and is a single mom and a college student she has to move now and she has 3 kids, not only do they all need our help but think about how terrifying this has been for the children. also how hard this is on single mothers who are trying to nake it on their own.

This happened at my apartment complex. This family lost everything. A mother & her 2 daughters managed to get out with the clothes on their backs. They are in need of clothing. Anything from pants, shirts, socks, shoes. The mother is a a womens medium/lrg. The girls age 7 & 3 are size 6 slim & 3 or 4. Girls shoe sizes are 13 & 8. Anything will be helpful. You can email me at awesomominca@yahoo.com to arrange for me to pick up or you can drop off at my apartment.

DEAR, FED UP IF YOU ARE TO GOOD FOR THIS PLACE I WOULD ADVICE YOU TO TAKE YOUR SELF ELSE WHERE EVERY ONE HAS TO HAVE A PLACE TO LIVE. AND IF YOU THINK YOU ARE BETTER THAN THEM GO OUT AND GET YOUR SELF A $200,000 MORGAGE, AND THEN YOU WOULD NOT HAVE TO LIVE IN THE "HOOD". BUT NOBODY IS BETTER THAN THE NEXT. SOME ARE JUST MORE FORTUNATE THAN THE OTHER.

Every apt complex called Park Ridge is trashy. Why is that?

Park Ridge used to be nice until the Crescent Creek rejects trashed it out and made it new "hood"
