Please Read - Selfishness and Selflessness

You are greedy and selfish.

So am I.

We all come to this site and enjoy it freely, never sending Astro a check or giving any money to Internet Brands.

You have a computer/phone that you read the site on. You have $20 in your pocket. You have your health and a roof over your head.

Once a year, though, we have a chance to NOT be selfish.

Once a year AZine asks you to toss some spare change into a hat for sick kids who are in the hospital and will not get any toys for Christmas.

I said SICK KIDS IN THE HOSPITAL who will NOT GET TOYS for Christmas.

I mean, they already feel like shit because they are in the hospital, and the thought of not getting a toy for Christmas must just break their hearts. Their parents are spending all their money on the hospital bills not knowing if the kids are going to make it.

YOU have the chance to give that child a smile and a toy. Think of how happy that kid will be when he or she opens the wrapping paper and sees what YOU gave him or her!

This charity gives 100% of the donations to the kids. NO admin fees, no 80 cents on the dollar.

If you have already given, thank you.

If you have not, please look into your heart and your wallet and give $5 or $10 or $20.

You are the ONLY way these kids are getting a single toy for Christmas.

Thanks.

Donated.
I'm wondering if I can add my name to the Donor & Address list after having donated. I cannot access Google Docs from work but I've already donated my share. Anyone know?

You can fill out the form after the fact. Just make note of your transaction number or access the info from paypal when you can.



Thanks for spreading the word stogie

Done!

Thanks to everyone who is donating. My son was at CHEO - The Childrens Hospital of Eastern Ontario - for 8 days when he was only a few weeks old. The staff are incredible, and all of the things that made my wife, myself, and most importantly, my son, feel better... were donated and/or made by volunteers. This money from the Childs Play charity is put to incredible use. Please give generously!

92 people have read this thread and only a handfull (thanks!) have donated.

If all 92 tossed $10 each into the hat, we would be almost to 60% of the goal and that would be nearly a THOUSAND dollars!

$10 bucks. Come on. Have pizza ONE less time this month and put a smile on a sick kid's face.
