I understand your concerns and worries. I really can't help in any way other than a few dump runs and that depends on the amount of money they are going to cost. What are you throwing away. Make sure nothing is collectable or pawnable. I understand that money is needed by everyone now.

Brett,
Most people probably aren't responding because like me, they can offer no help. Rest assured most here feel for you, but things are shitty everywhere right now. I've spent the better part of the last year working for half pay/half credit. I have a wife and 3 kids living with me and another that doesn't, and my Grandpa passed Sunday morning. I scrambled non stop and bust my *** just to keep my family fed and bills mostly paid. I'm the first to give a guy the shirt off my back, but now I'd have to take away from my own family to help. That I can't do. I hope all works out for you and your grandparents, but don't take peoples lack of response as a lack of caring. It's one thing to ask for help, another to expect it.

Brett,
So do your grandparents have any income at all? Maybe, they should apply for disability, or apply with your local human resource department, for some moneys, food stamps, and medical. It's not much income, but its something.
As for a washer, the best place to look is on craigslist. There's always tons of stuff under the free section. I'm sure you will find one on there. I've even given a washer and dryer away on there. As for a vehicle, that's a tougher one to come up with. Do they have garbage service where you live? I know there's resources that will help low income families pay for stuff like Electricity, Water, Sewer, Garbage, food, and probably transportation.
I'd help a bit also, but were in the same boat as most, with this economy, taking pay for half of what you should be paid for, and layoffs.
I'm more than happy to look up, and help direct you to some of the resources out here in your area if you would like. That I can probably do.
Well, with you going to Basic training, AIT, you will be able to send them money at least. Being there, you won't have any need to spend money.
Again good luck, and let me know if you would like me to look up some of those resources for you.
How old are your Grandparents if you don't mind me asking? Hopefully everything picks up again for everyone affected by this economy. I'm thinking its going to get a lot worse before it picks up again.
Sorry to hear about your Grandpa installer67. I hope things pick up for you also.

Sorry to hear dude. Wish I could help but I'm in the middle of downsizing, have to put a bunch o stuff in storage and rent a room from someone. Not excited. I have an older washer and a dryer that you could have but I can't help with delivering and in not exactly close to you. Hang in there and keep choppin your feet. I've been feelin the same way for a while now, it will get better eventually.
