I received the following information in a forwarded email.
Dear Friends:
Sandra Pringle lost her son in a trailer fire December 20, 2008. Since then she has had her three other children living with different relatives or friends. She had a church rent her a 2-bedroom apartment. Sandra has found a job and although she now has a place to stay she is still not able to have her other two sons stay with her as they do not have a bed. The room is small so they need bunk beds if at all possible.
Also, with the fall soon approaching the children & Sandra will need clothing.
Sandra lost her beloved son, Jammal and his buddy, his dog Ace.
If anyone in or around the Florence, Darlington, Timmonsville, Hartsville, SC area knows of anyone with bunk beds they’d be willing to donate, please let me know.
In the meantime I as Sandra realize times are tough for all, but if you could spare even a dollar, please mail it to help her build a bed & clothing fund for her children.
Mail to: Sandra Pringle Fund
PO Box 7156
Florence, SC 29501
Any & all contributions are greatly appreciated.
(Update, the Morning News has a story on this family and it is truly tragic.)
(Please note that I have no verification of the authenticity of this email or the information therein.)

Could you maybe post the clothing and shoe sizes of Ms. Pringle and her children?
This was one of the saddest stories I’ve read while working at the newspaper. I don’t know about this fund, but I know that the story is true. Here’s the address for that story: http://www.scnow.com/scp/news/local/article/lamar_fire_kills_young_boy/24888/.
