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!

 

Thank you. You reminded me that I have forgotten to donate. Going to do it now.

 

Right on, I've saved enough by using this site I think I can chip in $20. And not to sound selfish, but now I can sport the Acurazine stickers! Win, Win!

 

Donation sent- thanks for the link.

Merry Christmas to all of Azine and most importantly the kids!!

 

I donated and check out the first page for the items I donated as well. Merry xmas and happy holidays. I wish I could personally give the gifts to the kids to see how happy this charity makes them.

 

Donated!

 

Thank you for being a conscientious vendor here!

 

503 people viewing this sub forum right now (3G-TL).

If every one of them gave $10, that would be... Would be... (takes off socks to count)... Like 5 THOUSAND DOLLLARS!

 

Donated!

 

Donated!

 

We just hit the 50% mark, thanks guys!

 

donated =)

 

You guys are awesome! Tell all your friends, too!

Flood the threads!

 

Thanks for the push...
coming from a forum member AND the fact that there are no admin fees and it's distributed to all hospitals etc made me go for it.

We lose more than $20 on a parking ticket these days...I'm sure we can afford it for some kids. Money is a funny thing...the more you let go of it, the more comes your way

True story.
Happy Holidays all!

 

OK, 218 people have viewed this thread and only a handfull (thanks!) have posted replies saying they would donate.

You guys are better than that!

If each person who viewed this thread put $20 in the hat, we would be nearly to 75% of the goal!

I am no math wiz but 218*$20 is like... Hang on... Carry the seven...

WHOA!!!! $4360!!!!


You guys can do eet!!!!!!111111!!!!1one!!!!

hey now...I didn't SAY I was gonna donate...
I ACTUALLY DONATED...lol..."fast payer", check my ebay ratings...


Goodnight all!

 

Donated

 

Just Donated, and I am glad to do it

Thanks Stogie for showing us what it really means to give to the kids.

 

You can't donate to everybody who asks, nor can you be guilt-tripped by those you do not donate to.
Many of us probably donate to our church or other groups. We do an "Angel Tree", buying presents for kids who have a parent in prison, we do "Shoes for Orphan Souls", we do a "Box gift" thing for kids also.
So, nice of you to draw attention to your very worthwhile cause, just probably not the best way to go about it.
Sorry, I'm just sayin'........

 

i donated some yesterday, seriously a great cause so everyone chip in!

 

I hate that the edit function goes away so quickly.
I really commend you for your efforts for these kids. That effort shouldn't be dealt with rudely by some dumb arse such as myself. It was not my place to comment, especially this time of year.......

 

Done ! .. On Chrshmish Eve Eve Eve ......

I think I know where your heart is at...

At work, they corral us into a room and try and FORCE us to donate to United Way which I KNOW uses a large portion of contributions for "admin costs"...I don't like being made to feel like a cheapskate in order to donate "a la salvation army staredowns at the grocery store entrance". Something about this cause, and the fact that 100% goes to the kids made me go for it. I totally agree that we can and some do give in our own ways...

Nice to know we participate in a forum where A) people help others B) people admit when they're wrong without being told

Have a great holiday!

AND back OT (although I think that discussion is actually helpful TO topic)...let's get these kids some Red Ryder BB guns already!!!

 

I have a friend that his house blew up due to a gas leak about a month ago killing one of our friends and paralyzing my good friend from the chest down... i donated over 500.00 myself to him and his girlfriend to get back on their feet... i would have helped here and i know what’s 10.00 but i am trying to help them out as much as possible. Next year i will for sure!

Done and done.

It's true that you can't donate to every cause, but in this case, if it's hosted by Acurazine I'll do it. This site has saved me a ton of money and several hours of time with the DIY's and advice. If they say this is a good charity then I'm all for it.

 

Thanks guys!

HOME STRETCH!!!!

Let's FINISH STRONG!

 

This is the exact reason I donated. Acurazine has provided me with countless hours of help and useful information I would not have otherwise known. Not to mention all the helpful people on these forums. Definitely worth the $20 donation in my book!

 

Thanks!

Got a couple form friends you can pull in, too?

 

Donated, you heart-tugging bastards!

 

I donated already!! and plus me and my wife bought gifts for the kids in my sons' school. They get distributed through the social worker to kids whom don't get any gifts.

 

You guys ROCK!!

We hit the 60% mark!!!!

 

Come on guys! Let's get more money in! 2 more days...even being 17, I found I can donate 30 bucks, with no job, paying for gas and insurance, and an expensive girlfriend. Let's get to this goal.

 

^Awesome dude!

 

I bought a present for a kid. Its cool how you can get it sent to the hospital where they are instead of just donating cash

 

Nice!

Well done...

 

ALERT: Bacon paraphernalia available to donor...
