On Saturday the 13th of May, my family experienced the devasting loss of all of our belongings to a propane explosion and fire at our home. We have lost most everything, due to the intense heat and smoke damage. There is severe structual damage and the home is a total loss. My husband is an employee of Walmart, yes the dreaded Walmart at ******* and they have been wonderful.We were told to come in, get what we needed, clothing personal care items, and food and cleaning supplies. It totaled over $1,000 and they covered all the costs. They have given us not only monetary support,but offers for dinners, clothing, and just a hug and a friendly ear. So many times I have read on here about Walmart being bashed about. But, without them, we would have no clothing, food or even a toothbrush. So say what you might, think what you will. My family and I will forever be indebted to them.
