<keanu> whoa </keanu>

That's going to help a lot of kids. I've matched you with $125, which forces me to make . . .

Second Matching Purchase - $210.93 - Children's Hospital in Birmingham, Alabama

1 x Nintendo DS Lite Limited Edition Pink Ribbon
1 x ea NDS games: Animal Crossing: Wild World, Mario Kart DS, Nintendogs Dalmatian & Friends
4 x book (1 free) Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs - Judi Barrett

Thanks to: nycxandy, ZetaEpyon, skace, HardcoreRobot, jaybert


To everyone else, you don't have to be this generous to make the kids' lives a bit better. If you buy 5 x $7 books from Amazon (and pick 4:3 deal books) it will cost about $28, qualify for free shipping, and get $25 in matching donations from me & scarosanctfiend.

 

[JohnCU]

holy lord jaybert, that is awesome dude!!

 

[jaybert]

stocking up on some karma points for '09

I don't want to get all sappy or derail the thread, but when I think about my life so far, I've been pretty blessed, and the bad things I deal with are nothing compared to what the children staying in these hospitals are going through every day. If this makes at least one kid's day a little brighter/less painful, it was money well spent.

Dude. That was awesome. Oh, and DaveSimmons, my matching applies retroactively. So, please count everyone that donated before my post as well.

That's awesome! That's going to make a lot of children very happy. Brought a tear to my eye, seriously. (No sarcasm)

wtg jaybert!

 

[Beller0ph1]

Just completed my yearly donation to Child's Play. My mom works in the dermatology clinic at the Childrens' Hospital of Wisconsin in Wauwatosa, WI. She always gets a little teary-eyed when she opens the letter notifying her of a donation in her name to the hospital. Those kids are special, and just like the other hospitals, need something to distract them from their conditions. Please give generously! Help these kids have the same entertainment that we had growing up!

 

[acheron]

I made a donation the other day, forgot to post it here. First time I've done the Child's Play charity, but it's an awesome idea. Just got the shipping email today -- a copy of Mario Kart Wii ($49.99) to Akron Children's in Ohio.

 

[JohnCU]

i already got a thank you note back from the hospital where i sent my stuff :thumbsup:

 

[RadiclDreamer]

Not sure if anyone wants to match this, but I got my mother to donate as well. All to WVU Childrens Hospital.
