Christmas Adopt-a-Family Raffle

[D.W. Verts]

As many know, our family was chosen last year and it made a world of difference for our family. Can't emphasize how thankful we are to each and every one of you . Up until Tuesday I had $2.30
In the bank account so I am glad things worked out where I could help in some small way this year .

Thanks everyone who gave. I know it's going to make a big difference in her life and make it a little better for Christmas.

 I think the BIO will go a long way in getting more participations.  I copied it and emailed it to my wife and, once she read it, she said that "maybe we need to send more money".  I will send another donation next week.  =)

Thanks Brad and it's not about winning a prize for me it's all about helping a family in need.

That's awesome and tell her thank you. Does she work with a lot of folks? I can work something out in blocks so that she could sell tickets. She could collect the money and I'll send ticket numbers and she can pass out the numbers. We are shooting for a Facebook live draw if that would help her sell tickets (adds validity)

I can do this for anyone that can get donations local to them 

Or just pass out my PayPal addy, I've got several levels of security  tell anyone purchasing tickets to put Adopt A Family in the notes and their real name.

BigWench I got your donation  I know you all are still on tight times, thank you so much. I'll get your numbers to you shortly.

Time to do some updating.

First a big thank you to one of our Adopt a Family recipients BigWrench is in a much better situation this year and gave us a large donation, Thank You Sir!

Another honorable mention is D.W. Verts, he didn't want me to say anything but he alone has contributed greatly to the fund raising but sending a little at a time, I think he's up to 8 donations now. Thank You sir.

ebbc, jumped in with a donation and Sandman7925 as well.

You all are making it happen!! If I forgot your name here please let me know, we're getting a great turn out and I'm having trouble keeping up which is a great thing

I'll be working up a new total soon.

Wish I could do more, Mike. What's the deadline on this again?

You Sir have gone above and beyond 

For everyone else we will hold the drawing on the 19th; I love this place by the way Thank You All for being who you are and hanging out here 

[D.W. Verts]

Again, it's my pleasure.

It's so hard to ask folks for money this time of year. I may do some more, but I'm trying to figure out what, if anything, to buy for my three kids and lovin' wife first.

Ya'll that are on the edge about donating might do a PayPal Credit payment. $20 (or $40, or $60) won't hurt as much if you can pay for it later. Just an idea.

[analfisherman]

DANG YOU DW..........

Back to PayPal I GO!

Not that it's that important but I don't want everyone to think I'm a tightwad so put me on the list! 

[D.W. Verts]

Thanks guys. Anal, I've been cussed worse. By my wife. Yesterday.

[D.W. Verts]

If I have to shame folks into this, so be it. I've donated more than I can probably afford, and that's on me. I've told my family, and they're cool with it (I've also put more money in those buckets at Wal Mart this year than I ever have before, and I don't have a CLUE as to why).

C'mon folks- twenty bucks. See my thread "I Challenge YOU" in Dock Talk.

Get off yer butts. Please.

[Mike Cork]

Sorry Don, adding you right now...

thanks Don for donating and Anal thank you again for doing more and Dale

[Mike Cork]

Folks I know many of you are tapped out. I get it, it's Christmas and we have to buy gifts for our families, all on a budget that if your like me is already very tight.

But I just added everything up and we are at $1800 even

As awesome as that is, I would love to break $2k before the deadline. $200 is just 10 people giving twenty bux. If you've already given, THANK YOU, if you can find one more 20 dollar bill over the next week we sure could use it.

If you haven't been able to give, I do completely understand that this is a bad time of year to ask for money, but this family needs it's bad. We can change their world...

[Lipripper]

$1,800 that's great  Mike I have a feeling that we are going to break that $2,000 for Wendy this Christmas. Let me do a little mor figuring and see if I can't dig up some more to give.

[DonM]

What the heck, I'm in for another hit!  Will drop it by your house.  It's worth that much to turn on the lights and siren and embarrass you in front of your neighbors!

Don take a video of that one 

[Bud Kennedy]

Mike you are right.  I did find room for another donation.  It is on the way.

DonM Thank you for your donation, your support has put us close to a new record in fund raising.

Anal, thank you for your second donation, this is awesome!

I haven't put us on the list yet but the Fogelson and Corks are in

D.W. you keep pushing, we might be getting pretty close to 2k buy now, I'll add it up

I love it, Mother on the other hand.... Well you did get her out of bed yesterday 

Now what would get the neighbors going is if you came up the street at 90 lights and sirens full bore, slid into the driveway, then toss the doors open and roll out onto the ground with guns drawn 

I'd never have to talk to them again

[Mike Cork]

Mike you are right.  I did find room for another donation.  It is on the way.

Thank You so much Bud 

[RKent]

My donation was put in the mail this morning.
