			<description><![CDATA[I talked with a young woman from Fort McMurray today in a quilt shop. Her house did not burn but the smoke damage is extensive. She was asking how to get smoke out of her stash as well as her finished quilts, and their clothes of course. Anyone know? There could also be water and chemical damage from fire fighting efforts. - from Edmonton, with tears]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[See comment #9 for the American address. Quilts will be hand delivered to those who need them. They will not be sent to a distribution centre. The organizers have done this before and have a system. Nova Scotia quilters will be sending a box of quilts out soon. Thanks to all who are helping!]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[How will the quilts be given to evacuees? The distribution centers are chaotic in Edmonton and some are located too far out of the city. My son and his partner are among them and have only toiletries and a suitcase of clothing. They are in the process of trying to find a furnished apartment but may have to stay in a friends' camper. I just spoke to my son, they will cherish a handmade quilt. Not only will it keep them warm, it will be a treasured reminder of the kindness of our southern neighbor's and a difficult period in their lives , the personal growth, awareness and understanding it will bring. Thank you for thinking of the evacuees . Your kindness is heatwarming.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Donations to the Canadian Red Cross would probably be of more help right now. While quilts are wonderful things, the immediate concern of the people of Fort Mac is food and shelter. Most of the evacuees won't be going back to Fort Mac for quite a while.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Thank you quilters for your generosity. Whole subdivisions of houses were burned to the ground; other homes were water-damaged by the fire suppression efforts. This was a community of young, hard-working people, they will rebound, but in the meantime, families don't know when they can go home, and if they have a home to go home to. Quilts donated with love will be greatly appreciated. Thank you.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Our Guild (Thousand Islands Quilters' Guild) in Brockville, Ontario, Canada has been told that at the current time the donations to the Canadian Red Cross are the most helpful, as the Alberta and Canadian governments are matching donations. We are organizing a work group later this month to finish, collect and ship quilts. It is so nice that you have this information on where to send quilts, our quilting community is without borders when it comes to helping those in need.]]></description>
