Target is horrible if you return a gift someone else purchased you. I had a foster child who was 'adopted' by a high school class. They purchased various gifts, many duplicates like gloves and other clothing items. Even after I explained the circumstance, Target wouldn't even allow me to exchange the items without a receipt.

I'm so glad they made it out unharmed, but what a terrible thing to have happen.

Looks like that kid is well on his way to the SEALS though. He obviously has the heart for it.

Prayers for the family and congratulations to this young man and his heroic efforts. Sounds as though he may make a great SEAL!

Google Riverwood Middle School to find their phone number so you can call for suggestions. I posted their phone number for you but I guess that was a no-no as my post did not appear.

I'm thinking about purchasing a Wal-Mart gift card & dropping it off at the school on my way home from work today.

Riverdell is having a hat day on wednesday to help the family. Please, if your children do go Riverdell send in a donation and show your support. My son is in class with the 9 year old girl and was very sad this happened to her. Let's help make this a great Christmas for them, and show them there is still love in the world.

I hope Wesley gets to serving as a Navy Seal. He's a hero.

Does anyone have any information on how people from out of town can help? I live and work near/in Chapel Hill and cannot make it to Clayton during business hours.

So sad to have lost so much, but what a wonderful attitude. Wesley and Mr. Dixon, you are great people and I wish you the very best!
