While he was not at home Saturday morning, there was a fire at his apartment complex. He lost nearly everything he owned – pretty much all he has left is the clothes on his back and some of his photography gear/work and computer he was able to recover. He is also a single father with two sons who are elementary school aged. Unfortunately his insurance had just lapsed — and in this economy, the combination is extremely devastating when you’re a home based entrepreneur.

So in lieu of a holiday gift idea post today, how about we demonstrate what the spirit of the holidays is all about — that it is more blessed to give than to receive. Jory Cordy, a close friend of Fred’s as well as fellow photographer has set up a paypal link to donate to help Fred out and Southern Weddings Magazine is also taking donations as well. Or you can go to Paloma’s Nest and buy the FAITH dove bowl — all proceeds from its sale will also go to help Fred.
