**News from Khashka**

[CaliforniaPeggy]

I talked to Khashka last week, and he had some very bad news ....

His apartment building burned to the ground, and he barely got out with his life....

He lost nearly everything.......all he had were the clothes on his back...

Luckily, his parents live nearby, and they are sheltering him until he can get back on his feet......

He would greatly appreciate your good vibes, good thoughts, prayers and anything else of a supportive nature at this critical time.....

He lost his computer too, and this is why he is not online these days....

He sends his love.......

[lildreamer316]

1. DAMN! Oh no!!!

I am holding him in my thoughts.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

9. My dear lildreamer!

Iknow he will appreciate your good thoughts very much.....

[Callalily]

61. Oh how awful . . .

I'm glad he's safe though. Definitely sending him strength and good vibes.

[flvegan]

2. What?

Holy hell...

Lounge fundraiser, anyone?

[CaliforniaPeggy]

12. My dear flvegan.......

I was in shock too......

As for fundraising, I already asked him.......

He thanked me, and said no.......

And...you need to ask the administrators about that......

But thank you!

[ThomCat]

18. I'd definitely kick in for that fund raiser.

[redwitch]

3. I have missed him.

am glad he got out OK but losing all your possessions in a fire is awful. Can we do something as a community to help him out?

[CaliforniaPeggy]

14. My dear redwitch.......

I have missed him too.......

He's a special person!

He really didn't want any material support......he will be fine!

Thank you, though.....

[Richard Steele]

4. Hey, pass along some good DU energy for us!

It surely SUCKS to lose all your posessions,
but "things" can be replaced. And eventually
they will be.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

16. My dear dicksteele!

He will be getting this thread, never fear!

I will send it to him as soon as he has computer access.........

Thanks for your very good thoughts!

[Starbucks Anarchist]

5. Oh, no.

Good thoughts for Khashka. :hug:

[CaliforniaPeggy]

17. My dear Starbucks Anarchist!

I will be sure to tell him.........thanks!

[LeftyMom]

6. Does he need anything?

Pass this along for me, would you? :hug:

[CaliforniaPeggy]

19. My dear LeftyMom!

He didn't want any material help!

But he'll love the hugs!

He will get this thread as soon as he has computer access again, never fear!

[JackBeck]

7. Oh, no!

Let him know I've got hugs for him over here.

:hug: :hug: :hug: :hug: :hug:

[CaliforniaPeggy]

21. My dear JackBeck!

He will see your very kind and warm words......

No worries!

[JackBeck]

39. Thank you, Peggy.

What a random and tragic thing to experience.

[HCE SuiGeneris]

8. I am glad that he is safe... but what a terrible loss.

Wishing him warm thoughts.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

22. My dear BushDespiser12..........

It was a terrible loss..........he and his parents are going to be in shock for awhile.......

He appreciates the warm thoughts a lot.....

[SeattleGirl]

10. OMG, how awful!

Poor Khash! Thank God he made it out, though.

Sending him lots of good vibes, thoughts, prayers.

Thanks for letting us know, Peggy.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

23. My dear SeattleGirl.........

I could NOT believe it either.......

This sort of disaster is something that happens to other people...

I did ask him if it was OK to have this thread.....he was touched by my asking.........

It's the least I can do for my dear friend.......

[graywarrior]

11. Find out what he needs.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

24. My dear graywarrior........

I will tell him.......

And he will eventually see this thread.......

Thanks!
