Very cool. My wife and I discussed doing this, but our selfish reasons won out in the end, unfortunate to say. So we sent in a donation instead.
When it's gut check time, you really find out about yourself. I have battled this for a week now.

If that news anchor from the other post needs a place to stay for a year or so, I'd gladly take her in.
hahah lol...Lightning said:
dawgball...the one thing i would say, and this isnt to take anything away from schilling, but he has a lot of money and it is much easier to do something like this when you do...i dont think he's housing the family in his own home..at least the article isnt clear about that..nothing selfish about donating money
giving something back to the needy is what it should be all about, he is a man of means and decided to share his good fortune with a family that needs it. MANY OTHER PEOPLE MORE FORTUNATE SHOULD DO THE SAME------ITS TIME TO GIVE BACK
You know, I have mixed feelings about this. As a human being, I feel great about this. As a Sox fan, I've been sick of Schilling's mouth and attitude for a couple months now. A month ago, if Curt said, you know I'm going to take this family of 9 homeless people here in Boston and put them up for a couple months and help them get back on their feet, that would have been cool. But now, its like, hes doing it and thats great, but he wants everyone to know hes doing it. How much in proportional dollars does it cost Curt to do this in a hotel or something? I mean, this is happening all over the country people are putting others up in their actual homes, but there's Curt on my radio dial every morning how its all about him and hey look at me look at this great thing we are doing, theres Curt in my Sox newsgroup look at me, look at me. I know my general cynacism on Curt is showing, srry, just been tiring of Curt for a while, still glad he did what he did though its more than I could do.
Same way I guess I feel about Deion Sanders giving $1,000 to the relief effort. Is it great? Sure. But this is a guy whos tailor last week said he owns 1900 suits and has a 3000 sqft closet. $1,000 is probably equivalant to me pissing on a penny and throwing that in the relief bucket.
I just wish it didnt take tragedy in this country to get people off their ass and donate to charity. Hundreds of thousands of people in this country are homeless and hungry every single day. Taking nothing away from the horrible loss the people in the South suffered, I just wish it didnt take things like this to wake Americans up to the fact that there are millions of people in their own country worse off than them every day
