UBB.Developers Forums General Discussion Chit Chat Hey Philly, Help Me Spread A Little Holiday Cheer

OK all,

Once in awhile you come across something you just have to do because in the end, you're making someone else's live a little easier. In this case, I was very moved by the post that I read the other day and I wanted to do my part to help. If you're not familiar with what I'm talking about, please read:

Unfortunately, the child cannot use the game system because he is photosensitive (and thus the television will cause him harm), but I'm sure he can benefit from a cash donation. Therefore, ALL OF THE PROCEEDS FROM THE FOLLOWING SALE WILL BENEFIT RAINE AND HER FAMILY.

I am selling both a Playstation One Games Bundle as well as a Dreamcast Games Bundle. I will take the first serious offer I get. Keep in mind, not only are you helping me to pass on two completely functional video game systems, you're helping out a family that will really benefit from your generosity.

Here are the specs:

DREAMCAST

Hey Matt Good luck in your sale, it's for a good cause, looks like

Merry Christmas

Yeah, I was very touched when the woman called me up this morning. She was very moved by the effort and I really hope it will pay off.

She was telling me that the only housing in Philadelphia that is available for her children is in a section that she can barely afford (the good news is that she's in a very safe neighborhood) and that most if not all of her money goes to rent.

BTW, if anyone wants to donate to her, you can using the link I have posted above.

As some of you know besides Hostboard I am the owner of Black Widow Motor Sports Monter Truck Racing Team. I do a tremendous amount of charitable contributions through the entire year. I am associated with: Make-A-Wish, United Way, Shrinners, Cub Scouts, American Breast Cancer to name a few organizations I work with.

While I can not help everyone each holiday there is enevitably someone who is down on their luck and strikes a cord with me (generaly kid related). I will be making a purchase for this little boy and hope the family can shed a small smile this holiday.

Steven,

Wow, thank you so much! I was just as touched as you were. In fact, I was lucky enough to get a phone call today from Raine thanking me personally.

Raine had explained to me that in Philadelphia, the only housing that is correctly set up for her son's needs is downtown, which is not cheap. She's telling me that she can hardly afford it because all her money goes to rent (I assume the landlord turns a blind eye to this because normally this wouldn't be allowed).

I really hope that I can fulfill my commitment by giving her a few bucks at the very least.

Oops... Please ignore the fact that I typed exactly the same thing twice. I was fighting a cold last night with Nyquil.
