julie and adam update

so, this morning i found out that good old walmart, that so many of you for some reason hate, has handed adam a check for over 10, 000$. this of course does not include cards of employees which surely will contain money and shopping cards. half of this money is the money they raised through there bbq, their shopping spree jar, their craft sale, and the other thing i forget what it was. the other half of this check came from walmart's head office who promised to match what walmart peterborough had raised. oh, as well as about 1000$ of it came from other walmart stores who jsut wanted to help out. walmart has also donated some furniture and other things to julie and adam. also, people have been dropping off everything that they need, and had before the fire to her mom's house, where they are staying for right now. to me it is only logical that they will use the money to put a down payment down on a house, or at least some of the money. this is because most of their things have been replaced, and those things that haven't been can be by family and friends. adam is back to work now i think, or will be starting monday, or sometime soon. your prayers are definately still needed as they still do not have a place to live, but still have to pay rent on their appartment because they could not get out of their lease which runs out in augest. they are living with my aunt right now, but my aunt has a huge huge dog, half doverman and half rotwiler. this dog is constantly jumping up on julie who is very pregnant and adam with his burnt hands. the stupid thing also takes food off the counter and stove, and has learned how to open doors. they feel and i agree it is not safe to have a baby in that house, which means of course, once the baby comes they have no place to put him. so please pray that they can find a place to live, and that everything with the baby turns out well. she is due in 21 days. and to those of you who hate walmart, would your place of employment raise and handover so much money to you?

That's really impressive. Wal-mart has a good selection of chocolate, at great prices; however, their clothes still make me look fat :P But as far as blood squeezing oligopolies go, wal-mart be cool.
