I donated over $5k of furniture and home improvement stuff. We don't have the stuff. How can I get an appraisal now? Won't the donation records work? How can I get a signature from the charity too.

The appraisal requirement does not apply to one specific charity, but to a specific item or group of items. If you can divide the items into groups with value less than $5,000 you would not need the appraisal. If you cannot separate the items into groups, you will not be able to claim the deduction without the appraisal.
Similar items of property are items of the same generic category or type, such as coin collections, paintings, books, clothing, jewelry, nonpublicly traded stock, land, or buildings.
