A house fire! Would you take the clothing?

i think it is ok to take the clothing as long as she has something to wear in the meantime that there is nothing yet. i think it doesn;t matter and people won't mind of a little girl will wear a boy's clothing, it is ok if it is t-shirt or shorts. this is all i can say.

Yes i would take it because if you have nothing then be happy with what you can get. I mean it may be boy clothes but how many girls wear boy clothes today. not only that it is nice of you to donate what you have even if it's not as girly as she and her family might like or want. They should just be thankful they are getting things at all.

i think it is much better if you donate it right away because they are in need of any clothing especially for the little girl.im sure it can help her a lot.

The more gender-neutral tops would be fine for the girl. Really, how many of us have swiped t-shirts or dress shirts from our boyfriends or husbands? T-shirts and sweaters are fine. As long as you aren't donating items that say things like "Little Slugger" or covered in footballs, the items shouldn't be too "boy-ish."

I am definitely a person that has a tendency of saying that beggars can't be choosers. Now I realize that this family is not begging by choice because of the fact that they didn't choose for their house to catch fire. However, they have to take what they can get. It might be that they will only use the clothing for a short period of time, but at least they will know that there is something that their little girl is able to wear. I personally would be happy with any donations that I got if I was faced with this kind of a disaster.

In that situation,i don't have choice than to come the cloth.

Hard to say what I'd do in that situation.. at the very least I'd probably weed through and see if there's some stuff that isn't overly boyish to use.

I have nightmares about house fires sometimes. I know that shoes and coats would be important, purse and car keys ( I honestly keep those by my bedside just in case ). As for clothes I doubt would be thinking of that. It's hard to say what we would do in a case can only speculate what we think we'd do. My first response would be get everyone out and that they had something warm to wear since we're in the winter months. As for additional clothes I don't know a person would have time to gather them if moving kids out of the house. It's thought provoking though but think it all boils down to how much time we've got and how bad the fire is and even where the fire is at. Scary!

That is my worst fear of a house fire. My prays go out to this family who lost everything. I would think I would take what is given to me and work with what is there. Boy clothes on a girl I think is a bit more acceptable and could sometimes pass for either gender. If you really need the clothes you will take what is given and be grateful at least I know I would be.

I think much better if I will take the clothing while waiting for the girly items. Wearing boys clothes is not a big deal just make sure to explain the situation why she need to wear that clothes to make her more comfortable.

If it was me (which I hope and pray will never be), I will take it and be thankful. If it is wearable and presentable why not? People can just spare whatever they can, it is not even their duty to help me. This isn't the time to be choosy.

I think in this case, they cannot be choosy, what matters is that they have something to wear and there's someone willing to help and be thankful of it. If it will be a girly clothes to be worn by a guy, it will be awkward for that kid but it's comprehendable although it's hard because someone will make fun of the what they're wearing. My granny told us it's better to have flood than fire because you can still wash what's left and try to use it if it's still ok.

there's no wrong for girl wearing boy outfit :) if I'm in this situation I will accept what people are going to donate me, at least my daughter got somethign to wearing

if it was me i would take the clothing and be thankful that some one is wanting to help in the time of need other things will come but it is something to wear for the time needed they can always be re gifted to some other needy people later
