Hippyt | Thursday, December 04, 2003 - 10:06 am     Whoa.....Look at all that!!! I'm a little overwhelmed. Thank you so much Tess,Charlie and Miss Sarah. What a wonderful thing you're doing. I know that the good you do for others will all come back to you. Oh,and I had to let Miranda look at Miss Sarah's photo for about 15 minutes before she would let me type anything. I think she wants Miss Sarah for a new friend,lol,she doesn't quite understand. Happy Holidays all my wonderful friends at TVCH! |
Lucy | Thursday, December 04, 2003 - 11:07 am     Twiggy requested that that a donation be made to a cause that is dear to her heart, adult literacy. A donation has been sent in her honor to the Hayward Literacy Plus Council. I am also gathering up books to give to our local library. Since 1986, Literacy Plus has helped over 2,000 adults to read. As a result, they became citizens, earned driver's licenses and G.E.D. degrees and voted for the first time. Their increased skills resulted in higher self-esteem, better jobs and the ability to help their children succeed. Happy Holidays!! |
Seamonkey | Thursday, December 04, 2003 - 11:12 am     Luvmom, that's wonderful!! My kitty approves too!! I'm loving all of the different organizations, and visiting their websites too. |
Mak1 | Friday, December 05, 2003 - 10:16 am     YVW, Amchess and Robby! I'm posting this in case anyone wants to know where to contact the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation. Thank you for your contribution to the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation International. You are helping us move even faster down the path to a cure for diabetes and its complications. Contributing on-line is only one of many ways that you can help. You may want to register for the JDRF Walk to Cure Diabetes http://www.jdrf.org/support/walk_to_cure.php sign up to be a legislative advocate (http://www2.jdf.org/advocacy), or volunteer for an activity at the chapter nearest you (http://www.jdrf.org/chapters/homepage.php). |
Lumbele | Friday, December 05, 2003 - 11:33 am     In honour of Djgirl DH and I just delivered new toys, sweets and a few nearly new items to Samaritan House. They are having a kids' Christmas shopping day. The children register for 5 cents and then can "buy" a gift for each member of their family. A volunteer assists where needed and then sneaks a gift for the shopping child him/herself into his/her bag. |
Djgirl | Friday, December 05, 2003 - 01:27 pm     Thank you sooooooo much Lumbele!!! That's one of the best gifts I'll get this year!!! |
Urgrace | Friday, December 05, 2003 - 01:40 pm     For Mak1: Sweetie, I called the Cal Farley's Boys Ranch and Affiliates today to make a donation in your honor. They help children build a better future by providing wholesome food, a home, and moral guidance. Donations have transformed the lives of children for 64 years at the boy's ranch and 54 years at Cal Farley's Girlstown along with a family program giving them a second chance for success. Located in Amarillo, Texas, the organization has expanded out to include 25 other states. Check their website at calfarley A confirmation letter will be forwarded to you. |

Melfie1222 | Friday, December 05, 2003 - 07:00 pm     In Lucy's name, I will be visiting a local bookstore where they have a "Tree of Sharing", decorated with ornaments representing many kids from low-income families, and I'll pick a few kids to buy new books for.  |
Urgrace | Friday, December 05, 2003 - 07:03 pm     Thank you for choosing such a wonderful cause, Granny. I am honored and pleased. <also thank you mod ei> |
Theowl | Friday, December 05, 2003 - 09:36 pm     I made a donation to Make a Wish Foundation on behalf of Ducky. There are some really touching stories at their website, and I wish I could do more!! Ducky, if you'll send me your e-mail address, I'll send you the confirmation thank you from them. This is the best idea!! It makes me feel all toasty inside, and after reading all of these posts, alittle weepy on the outside!!  |
Lucy | Friday, December 05, 2003 - 10:42 pm     Melfie, Thank you from the bottom of my heart for giving the gift of reading to children in need. Lucy |
Djgirl | Saturday, December 06, 2003 - 08:28 pm     In honour of my good friend Hermione, I am donating over 100 books to our local library to be sold to raise funds for children's reading programs. Merry Christmas!!!! |
Pamy | Sunday, December 07, 2003 - 02:51 pm     This was such a great idea and reading everyone's stories truly warms my heart!! I was so glad that Secretsmile got my name! She is going to serve dinner to the homeless on Christmas eve. It will be a great evening, they are even putting on a show for them!!! Thank you so much Secret, you are such a sweet caring person!!! |
Pamy | Sunday, December 07, 2003 - 03:00 pm     I got Readers name and was thrilled!! I am sending a donation in her families honor to the AHIHA - the American Hearing Impaired Hockey Association. Here is why.. Reader told me that Stan Makita helped one deaf child gain self esteem and goalie skills, and wanted to help others, 25 years later, its in full swing, they take kids to the Deaf Olympics. They gave her son a college scholarship, even tho we have been unable to afford for him to play hockey the last 3 years. I get teary eyed just thinking of all they have done to help my son. What a great charity!!!!! I am also donating 2 bags of clothes and 7 bags of toys to the church in her honor. They give them to children that would never have a christmas without their help. I want everyone to know how great I think TVCH people are! It is such a joy to see so many caring people! We have 'angel tags' at my work, you pick a tag and get what that person wished for. They range from 1 yrs old to 80 yr old seniors that don't have much. We are sent enough tags for each employee of our section to get one. Well, the deadline is this Tuesday and there were still 8 tags left!!! These people don't ask for much and it hurt me that 8 people might be left out so a couple of us split up the extra tags and will make sure every angel tag gets their wish. |
Hermione69 | Tuesday, December 09, 2003 - 12:13 pm     Deej, thank you so much! You know that is special to me. I think that books have enriched my life by an immeasurable magnitude! {{{{{{{{{DJGirl}}}}}}}}}} |
Ducky | Wednesday, December 10, 2003 - 02:42 pm     Thank you Owl for your donation to Make a Wish Foundation. This has been really special to be able to share Christmas with TVCH. |
Cinder | Wednesday, December 10, 2003 - 07:04 pm     Grannie- I have been busy today trying to finish Christmas shopping. Tomorrow I will drop a bag of cat food and dog treats in a box I saw for "Santa Paws" They donate the food to animal shelters that have a no-kill policy. I made a donation to American Diabetes Association. You should be getting an e-card. For the special seniors in my life- I bought an individualized "For my Grandmother" Christmas card for my grandmother, and "Thinking of You" card for my uncle, and a "get-well" card for my grandfather. Zachsmom- Thanks for helping us remember the true meaning of gift-giving. |
Grannie | Wednesday, December 10, 2003 - 07:13 pm     CINDER, thank you so very much for your eagerness to do wonderful things for people this holiday season. I feel so grateful to you for your enthusiasm and choices. I hope that you feel wonderful also. Grannie |
Urgrace | Thursday, December 11, 2003 - 01:16 pm     Received the confirmation letter via snail mail today from Cal Farley's, not email. <shrug> "Dear ___Mak1___, (December 9, 2003) The Cal Farley Family wishes to inform you that a gift has been given to our boys and girls in your name. __Grace___ wished to honor you for Christmas by helping the young men and women now in our care. The peace, love and happiness of Christmas brings light into the lives of our youngsters and brighter hopes for the future. Our younger children are looking forward to a visit from Santa Claus and if the weather's right sledding and friendly snowball fights. The older boys and girls are learning to appreciate the joy the younger kids find in all the festivities. For some of our children, Christmas means traveling home to visit their families. And, a special cantata that our youngsters and staff perform in the chapel and at local churches will remind us all of the deeper significance of Christmas. These and many other ingredients make this time of year special at all three of our campuses and encourage our youngsters to feel important and loved. Everyone in the Cal Farley Family wishes you a very Merry Christmas. You are always welcome to visit any of our campuses and see for yourself the children who have been helped in your name. Sincerely, Chris Storm President and Chief Executive Officer" They also sent a separate letter to me with acknowledgment and appreciation. It stated that they "will be having choir tours, cantatas, and home parties. Homes are decorated and all the activities remind our boys and girls to think about the real reason for the season." An invitation to come join them for a meal was included. |
Grannie | Thursday, December 11, 2003 - 01:37 pm     WAPLAND - A donation in your honor has been received by The American Cancer Society from Grannie. This thoughtful tribute to you will be invested immediately in the fight against cancer. We join the donor in expressing our best wishes. If you or a loved one needs information or help, please call us at 1-800-ACS-2345 or visit www.cancer.org. The American Cancer Society Gladys Lucero Staff Assistant 1240 Palmyrita AVe., Unit A Riverside, CA 92507 909-320-2351 ext 200 |
Grannie | Thursday, December 11, 2003 - 01:43 pm     Wapland, I posted the above email so that any other people wanting to donate to the cancer society would know that this particular office really worked with me to handle this via email. Ms. Lucero informed me, via email, that they sent you an email to inform you of the above donation. In other words, the "local" branches will take the time to handle our "email only" donations. The online offices could not do the emails for us. Have a happy Wappy. Grannie |
