wanna pitch in on a good deed?
 

My nephew plays with a kid (they're 11) and this kid has had a rough life. He's one of 5 kids in a family with a single working mom. He's had 2 siblings die (so there were originally 7 kids!). One died at about 6 weeks from what I understand and the other was about 13, went to a friends house and got killed in a car accident during a sleepover. His family doesn't have much cash, but he loves playing with GI Joes I sent my nephew. I'm gonna take a bunch of my Extra joes and vehicles and send them to this kid. If anyone has any old "spares" or "doubles" they wanna donate, you can send them to me and I'll forward them to him. They don't have to be complete or in perfect condition, just not broken to bits!

I was thinking if enough of us wanna participate, we can send a box marked "From the Crew at JoeDios.com". Any takers?

I wanted to post this yesterday, but being as I am a joker, I thought everyone might think I pulling an April Fools Gag.....it's real....trust me!

oh, thats so nice, I would send some except for I'm looking for joes too. :(

I know how it feels to lose someone you love.

my grandma died on my birthday, and my other brother( Sam ) died 4 weeks ago,
so my money is putting for bills and food for my mom and other bro.


so I will help anyway I can.

I could send you a cd w/ Transformation on it, but uh, it's kinda pg-13...

I have...
 

Frank, pm me with your address. I have a dozen or so mint figures (no accessories) that you are welcome to. I'll get 'em to you a.s.a.p. :)

Well... I'll dig in my Joe parts and if I find anything in nice shape I'll send it. I don't promise anything though, I rather don't have any Joe reserves...

Beggars can't be choosers....whatever you got is good. Something is definitely better than nothing!

If anyone would like to donate a buck or two, I have a paypal account. I could use the $$ to go on to SmallJoes or Guru-Planet and grab him some newer ones! I'll provide anyone who donates copies of the receipts!

Thanks, guys!

Frank

I will try to send a few joes, but I have no figs to send? :(

Ender,I sent you a PM............

Hey,Ender-what if we find out about a present for everyone in the family and get the whole JoeDios group-those who can afford it-to chip in? :confused:

We could probably do that, but I just figured since we all collect Joes, we might have some extras lying around. Besides, my sister and their church are raising some cash and gifts for the family. I think if we just can kick in 10-15 figures and I have like 6 small Chap mei vehicles, we'll be good! Something that says "The Joe Dios Gang" cares!

I'm a Marine, I'm looking to help, I'm NOT applying for sainthood! LOL! ;)

But it's a good thought, and few people have true generosity anymore! ;)

Once I get all the figures and stuff together, I'm gonna pack it, take a few pics and ship it off...I'll have my sister take pics at the other end when Ed opens them and I'll post the pics!

Cool! I just wondered about presents for one kid outta 5.........but you already had that covered!!

No problem-I'll send my contribution ASAP! :D

PM Sent.
 

PM Sent regarding the 1988 Storm Shadow ;)
