Ganesha's Musings

As you may or may not know, my family and I are flood victims. Not in the sense of having to climb on the roof and wait for a rescue boat, our former address was Mount Everest Drive for a reason, but we were living in a basement apartment of a building with crappy maintenance. During heavy spring rains, our entire apartment flooded twice. We had roughly two inches of standing water on our floor. The only furniture that survived are two desks, our son's bed, our bed frame, a dresser, and our DVD rack and (maybe) our entertainment center. Our apartment was too small to be able to construct our bed, so we were on box springs and mattress on the floor. When we pulled it out, there was black mold going up the wall on two sides of it. You get the idea. So now that we have a new house (yay!) we are severely lacking in furniture. Here is what we need:

• Queen box springs and mattress (and slats)
• A dresser
• Kitchen table and chairs
• A desk (preferably corner desk)
• Couch and love seat and/or chair (preferably matching?)
• Living room tables

Yes, I know these things are all freely available on Cragslist and Freecycle, but the problem is... We have no truck or the money to rent one. This move has left us wiped out financially. We live in Belleville, near St. Louis. What we can offer in return though is computer repair, as my husband and I are both computer technicians. I can also do web design, graphic design, and web hosting.
Here are a few more things we would love to have, but aren't absolutely necessary:

• Book/storage shelves for the basement
• Tall cabinet for kitchen to use as a pantry (we are sorely lacking in cabinet space)
• Pallets and plywood to create raised flooring for the basement to make it livable space (it's leaky)
• Pipe to bury to divert the gutters
• Kiddo table or desk and chair(s)
• Beanbag chair
• Weed eater
• Edger
• Patio table and chairs
• Piano (our son shows a lot of musical ability and I can teach him)
