A member needs help promotion!

This is an open letter to all TPU members with a heart!

OK we have a member here on TPU that some may know. Hes been here for a while and has kinda gone off the radar. Garyinhere has been off the grid for a few reasons but the main reason is one of his kids is sick. I don't mean a little flu. I mean like Dr. House can't even solve it. Normally this wouldn't be a major issue with insurance but for a guy like Gary who is disabled its a big deal. He has none and can't work. The details of her sickness are rough and would bring down a grown man let alone a little girl.

So to help the man out I am running a promotion in the TPU store. I am going to setup a few items with zero profit margin. I will also customize it them to say anything you want so long as you make a donation to Gary and his family. This is all based off trust so if I do the work for you I expect you to do the right thing in return.

Here is a list of things his family needs.

School supplies (He has more then one kid)
Clothes: 14 and 12 boys for pants; large and xl boys shirts; need things like socks and underware too. Also sizes 5 girl and size 8 boy.
Food (Canned goods or dry goods)
Money: Heres his paypal garyquisenberry@yahoo.com

PM me for the address so I can clear it with him. The store will be live sometime tonight and Ill post a link below. Anything that you can provide will help.

Thanks,
TheMailman.

Thank you all for doing this... I normally have things planned out better... My little girl is pretty sick and they can't figure out what is wrong.. they've tested her from everything from Leukemia to lead poisoning and everything in between. Her bones hurt and she bruises VERY easy. Then on top of that we had to get last minute plane tickets from Seattle to fly our older two boys out of a very bad situation that involved drugs and a suicide attempt in front of them. So we had to spend our rent money and all the extra we had saved to get them out of danger. They are living here as of Saturday and we are needing some help with food, bedding, and clothing. I feel very blessed to have a comunity like this looking out for my kids and me!!!

Any help. Whatever it is any of you can give is welcome.

Gary and his wife are both veterans of war. For them to come home to this is unacceptable.

I'd suggest you to put those two older boys to work but these days finding a job is easier said than done even at McDonald's.

Hope things look up. I can help out just need to figure out the best way.
