pm me your address......I think I have some good stuff in a 34x30 my boys wore.....they always had the in thing, but it took me all day to shop for the bargains at AE and Areo has awesome prices too. If I can I will also send a wal mart card. My older neices may have some things for S, but I think they are in the same size so ? You think a Mens M would T shirt would be about right for J?

Thanks!

Angie

Also, maybe you want to think about talking to their parents to see of you can take them for a hair cut right before school. It's amazing how much kids or anyone can learn when their self esteem is high.

I'm so glad you said that. Any family with children could use a little extra to run the house in this economy but this is really for the kids. They can always buy larger sizes to grow into once they think they have enough for fall and winter or keep some money set aside for the next season. The person that mentioned helping the parents sure had their heart in the right place though.:thumbup:

Okay, I've got this box with all of J's school supplies ready to send out...

I decided to go ahead and send the outfits I bought - thinking that "too big" is better than "too small" and if they don't fit or the kids don't like them, they can just be exchanged....

Oh, my son and daughter wanted to send something along as well.... these are not new, but my son (11) sent J his Spiderman 3 DVD - - - and my daughter (13) sent along her toy kitty for S... (it was her favorite thing for forever it seems!!) - - - it's one of those that "purrrrr's" and "breathes" (her tummy goes up n' down) - and she meows! Really kinda' cute, hope she will like it...

Will be getting this box out asap! :)

A special thank you to your son and daughter and their Mom who is teaching them well. Hugs, Joan

Wow..haven't been back to this thread since my last post...It is heartwarming that so many are so generous and excited! A $10 gift card goes a long way when added up. Do we have an official list? I see that the school supplies for both are taken care of...so now its just a matter of getting the address for the gift card! This is awesome! Please don't forget me when pming your address! THanks!

zoeybear 07-17-2008 08:33 AM
I just went to the walmart web site and ordered a gift card and shipped it. Saved me a trip and the gas $. It said it should arrive between 7/25 and 7/31.

Graleyne 07-17-2008 08:49 AM
Ok my PC and internet are up and working! Yay! Paypal is up and running and linked to correct bank account as well. :D

I need to know who else needs either address. I am trying really hard to catch up!

I just wanted to say again that ya'll really have no idea how much this means to me and is going to mean to these kids. I am so happy and excited for them! I am so so very very VERY proud to be a part of such a caring and generous family! (((((HUGE HUGS)))) to each and every one of you!

Graleyne 07-17-2008 09:22 AM
Ok, I think I got everyone - except MeganS, whose inbox was full :p

If you didn't get a PM from me with my address and paypal information and want to help, please let me know!

Thank ya'll so very much! I can't wait to see the look on their faces when I load 'em up and take them shopping!

crystalsmom 07-17-2008 09:26 AM
I will email Megan and let her know and ask her to pm you, ok.

Thank you :) She is such a sweety for helping out! I hope when my daughters get to be teenagers (well, one will be 14 in Aug) they are kind and mature as she is!

I agree she is an angel and so mature. I will never forget how she handled re-homing her dogs when there was no other choice. Before that I thought she was one in a million but after that I knew she was. Such maturity and thoughtfulness at a young age is wonderful. She will laugh when I write these following words "sorry a little off topic" :D

crystalsmom 07-17-2008 11:08 AM
I didn't mean to slow things down with posts about Megan. All I can say is these children will be so delighted.

crystalsmom 07-17-2008 06:10 PM
Please 'bump' this up for those that have not seen this. Thanks

I hope these kiddos are set for a while and will have a good start to this school year. Maybe with the better start they will have a more enjoyable year! :)
It looks like you'll have plenty for the kids...I hope..
So yes, if there's any leftover, the parents could probably use it for groceries or whatever. Do you have a super walmart?
I'll be happy to send either paypal or a walmart GC.
Please PM me when you can and let me know if you can take paypal.

Thanks for caring so much.
Tammy

Graleyne 07-17-2008 06:26 PM
Thank you!

I also wanted to say a BIG THANK YOU to those of you who have already donated via paypal and to those who have things on the way already. The generosity of YTers never ceases to amaze me.

I am hoping to get enough to pay for haircuts before school, get them a few outfits each as well as some much needed socks and underwear, any other school supplies they may need (you know how teachers sometimes add to the list on the first day), and hopefully enough to pay for their lunches for the first week of school. I am almost positive they qualify for free lunches, but sometimes it takes a week or more to get the paperwork turned in, processed, verified, etc. and lunches have to be paid for while waiting.

I also wanted to let you all know that I talked to the kids' mother and let her know what was going on. I worried and debated on how I was going to tell her. Financial issues can be kind of sensitive for some people, you know? I finally just decided honesty was the best policy. She started to cry and wanted me to express all of her thanks as well and tell ya'll that you have NO IDEA how much this helps. She has been worried to death about how she was going to get things for them this year and this is an answer to her prayers.

Thank you SO MUCH everyone for helping me help this wonderful family!

Awww, that's so sweet :) She sounds like she's really trying and the Lord helps those who help themselves. It sounds like they were due for something good to happen to them.

I sent you the paypal first thing this morning.

If I counted correctly (which I probably didn't but close) it looks like $190 in gift cards alone and there are still question marks on what others are doing. Yorkie Talk needs a great big ((((((((((HUG))))))))))

jencar98 07-18-2008 06:28 AM
I am going to send clothes but also made a paypal donation, $20. I posted this only because it looks like you are trying to keep an updated total.

Members are free to give to any person or cause that they wish. Due to past abuses and potential problems in the future, we can not allow threads of this nature. We would hate to see any YT members get scammed in any way, thus we think it is best to not allow threads involving sending or asking for money or items, be it for Yorkies or people. Thank you.
