An EF or MF Emergency: Let the Village Help

[Reginald Rutledge]

I've got a problem and I know there are people in the New Jersey area who could possibly help me. I've got a friend, Barry Stephenson, who's kids are stuck in Sayerville (?) New Jersey. The airport will not let planes go out for 3 days, until December 30th.

He asked if I would reach out to anyone in that area who would be willing to put his kids up for 3 days. They are 16 (the son) and the daughter (18) and they are very good kids, probably a little scared being so far away from home.

He asked me if I would see if anyone would be willing to let them stay at their home for 3 days with them. You will probably need to pick them up at the airport as well. I do not know the conditions or the geography or even if I am saying the name of the town right.

If we have to make some type of financial arrangement, we definitely would not mind doing so but its just that thing about young people being away from home scared. Today is the 27th so you can imagine how difficult that could be as a father, worried about your kids.

You can either give Barry a call (972)-795-3434 or me (817)654-4146. I know this is not the norm but kids are what we are talking about here. I know there are a few coaches in the NJ area but again, I am not sure of the locale. If you can't help by offering accomodations or getting to the kids, see if you know of someone else who can.

This is essentially an MF Family matter.

Thanks,
