Alright, you guys shook the bean counter out of his roost and put him back at the shop counting. As of RIGHT NOW, I have IN MY POSSESSION, $1480. Now, this doesn't include numerous WalMart gift cards, food donations or, the check that I did not have time to go get today that is to be $1000.
Tentatively, we have $2480 + all the extras that we are still gathering. I am also still working on my vendors to cough up some of the large profits they hit on me throughout the year. Also, I have yet to drop my own $$ on this. I'm sure there are several more holding out as well. I'd just feel dumb Paypal'ing myself money. Alright, as of right now, I'm pitching $100 in so, we are looking at $2580.
Chicken and I have talked and, if we can hit $3000, I think we'll be well on our way to making two families have a very wonderful Christmas! It may sound like a lot of $$ but remember we are shopping for 8 kids and 4 adults...No, we aren't buying toys for the adults but, gift cards to shoe stores are more to help the adults than bring joy to a kid. Also, hopefully, we can do a gas card or two as well...Here again, it lowers some stress levels for Mom and Dad which makes the kid's lives easier.
So, who else wants to jump in on this?!
