Need help for the kids.

[rrplasencia]

This is one of the projects coming up and thought I would ask anybody in the asylum if they'd like to help. Thank you in advance for looking, please feel free to p.m. with any questions.

I'm hosting a dinner for the homeless on December 10th, there will be a little over 100 children at the event. We would like to try to have a gift for each child in attendence. I would need them by Dec.6th, if anybody would like to help out I have listed sex and ages of the children, as well as the number of children in that age group. These children have nothing so there's no need to worry about cost of the toy, anything would be greatly appreciated. We only ask that it be a new toy, this will most likely be the only gift these kids recieve for the holidays.

Did you have a dollar amount in mind?

[timo]

I'll cover the two 12 yo males

[md4958]

Richard, I'll grab a few things that can cover several ages. Not sure what ages, not sure what gender till I get to the store :tu

Thanks for doing this, youre a good man.

[rrplasencia]

Did you have a dollar amount in mind?

any dollar amount is fine, it really doesn't matter, these kids really don't have anything.

i should also mention, this is not a charity, this is something our restaurant does to give back, we shut down a few times a year and feed people. this one consists of 400 homeless, 110 or so of that are children.

[md4958]

you know, you keep this up and your staff are gonna know that youre not the a-hole you pretend to be! :r:r

[kzm007]

I'll take one of the younger girls, whichever one you think is most appropriate for a little Beanie Baby plush.

Shipping directly to you from Amazon, Rick :tu paid for now.

EDIT: Canceling my order. Going to buy the three-pack instead:

More kids benefit :) they deserve it.

[kzm007]
