1.1 Proven Bloodred Pair - Donations for a Student in Great Need.

Drizzt80

Dakota Corns
Once again I find myself in a position to take action on behalf of someone else. I have had this pair of snakes up for sale for some time now, and have decided to take donations for a chance that you could own them. What's the donation for?

I have just learned that a student who attends my school has had her cancer return. She's been battling this since 4th grade (10 years old). She's 13 now and in the 7th grade. She and her family thought they had her final EVER chemo treatment last summer. Unfortunately that's not the case. She was flown back to the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, MN over the past weekend, and her biopsy from Tuesday showed 40% leukemia cells in her bone marrow. Not good, but they are a fighting family and doing everything they can to get this back under control.

Donations will earn you a chance at a gorgeous 1.1 pair of Proven Bloodreds. The male is a 2003 product of Kathy Love herself, and the female (Who just laid 21 eggs yesterday (5/12)!!) is a 2007 product of Dakota Corns. Their current pictures are located below.

Here are the particulars:
1. Shipping will be paid by the winner. Continental US Shipping address only. Those members not in the Continental US can donate chances to continental US members OR if they have someone that can ship to them from the Continental US we can work with that too.

2. Donations are over for this set of donations. Thank you and congratulations to Jenstar!
1 chance will equal 1 physical ticket placed “in the hat”.

3. Donations are over for this set of donations.
Please include your name, email, and CS.com screen name with your PP donation.
Please remember to mark as Personal and Gift because it really is a gift to a family in great need!

4. I will be ending the donation process at midnight (Central time), on Friday, May 21st. Selection of the new owner for these Bloodreds will be made and announced sometime during the day on Saturday, May 22nd.

5. Shipping will be arranged between myself and the winner. The winner will be responsible for shipping costs as I want all donated funds to be forwarded to the Borgen family.

6. I will make changes as necessary to these particulars as questions/concerns arise.

To make it crystal clear, I will not be making or accepting any profit on this donation. Anyone who may not know me or my history with things like this, or are just generally skeptical, here is the web address for the family's CarePages site. You will need to register to read it, and you will more than likely need a tissue. Be sure to click on "About Ali".

Thanks for any interest

Hi Brent,

I just sent you a payment. I couldn't find the "donation" button, so I included a little extra. This should more than cover your fee. If you didn't incur a fee, then great. That is a little extra $$ for your student!

Brent, it's so cool that you do stuff like this! I'll send in what I can when I get home - can't PayPal from work.
 
I didn't see where it said Donation either. I chose Gift, but I also included a couple extra bucks for fees. And I really don't need or want the snakes, this is just to help out someone in need. I know of several people right now going through life threatening health issues. I can only do so much, and this is something I can do. :)
 
If you choose gift it will charged you and not Brent. :)

Brent, you are really awesome for caring about your students the way you do.
 
I'm going to have to see what I have left over on my PayPal account after some fees go through. But you should be hearing from me soon! And I absolutely refuse to look at that link. I cry watching Pretty Woman, so reading something that isn't fictional will flood the house.

Thank you for caring so much about others! We need more people who care in the world.

Just got home and had the time to sit down and read through all your responses so far. Thanks a ton for the donations! Seriously. I don't do it for anything other than knowing that when/if I can help I do my best to try. We learned as a family during the past year and a half that life can throw you curve ball so fast . . . well, we've had a pretty darn lucky year and half considering the "what ifs" with my mother in law and sister in law. :shrugs:

More thanks for more donations. With the CarePages site, that's set up by the family and I have nothing to do with that. I linked to that site so those that are curious can see what this strong young girl is going through.

I haven't had the chance to rummage through PayPal and my emails yet, but I'll check into the donation/gift thing. I know it's an option one way or another in there.

I've PM'ed this to a couple of people, but it's a quick kick to the gut looking into a 13 year old girls face and having 40 year old eyes stare back at you. This girl looked death in the face at age 10 and 11 and thought she won. It's round two. :shrugs:

I looked into it, and yes, choose "gift" not donation. I've made the change in the original post as well. As for you being charged for the gift, that occurs if the gift payment is made by debit or credit card. If it comes directly from your PP account or your bank account there is no charge to you.

BTW is is allowed to go for more tickets ??
I missed this the first time through. Yes, you can donate as much as you'd like as often as you'd like for chances up to the deadline next Friday. I haven't gotten to your email yet, but will PM you when I do.

Thanks again,
D80

Big Kudos to you for being a good guy, not just in your business dealings, but on a personal level as well.
