Some of you may have heard me talk about this

My friend Dawn and her 10 year old son Gabe lost EVERYTHING they own in a house fire last night (in Burnaby, BC).

The fire was caused by her landlady's cigarette. Luckily they were able to escape unharmed but at the moment all they have is their car and the clothes they were wearing when they escaped into the night (in Dawn's case that's just a bathrobe). Two weeks before Christmas they have lost everything and unfortunately didn't have tenant insurance.

Dawn is a single parent and was concerned about Christmas to begin with. Now she and Gabe have much bigger things to worry about.

Dawn passed on this information:

Gabe...
He is a size 7 or 8 in pants (adjustable waists required).
He wears a size 4 shoe. Shirts he can wear a 9 or 10.
He loves all things hockey, and airplanes. The loss of the xbox is going to kill him, but that can come another day. Lucky for him, his PS2 is at the neighbours, but all the games are gone.

Me...
A 10 or 12 in pants. I prefer large shirts. I wear a size 10 shoe.

For now she's staying with a friend. If you can help, let me know and I'll give you the address where Dawn and Gabe are staying, and/or her Paypal address.
