I have been hearing about the RV that burned in front of the James Gang [Dec. 8]. Evidently, the man was burned pretty badly. When I first heard it on the news the next day, my first thought was, “What will become of this man?” If his house had burned down, the Red Cross would have rushed in to help and probably the neighbors. Because he was living in an RV (it looked to be a nice RV), he is considered homeless. I have a friend who comes to Ocean Beach from time to time who has lived in an RV for more than 12 years. His young daughter died years ago and he ended up losing his marriage, his job and virtually everything else. He doesn’t not consider himself homeless. The RV is his home. I would like to somehow help this [fire victim], but I don’t know how to go about it. I would be happy to help if someone is willing to collect donations to help him. I will start the fund with a $40 donation and do any leg work that will help get the word out. Does anyone else out there care? I hope so.
