alchico Posted September 20, 2005 Share Posted September 20, 2005 We still need your help. Our donations are making a differance. Just thought i'd post a few responses from our guys down south. Guys just wanted to again offer my gratitude for your efforts and donations to myself and others who are using this in order to rebuild our lives. Just met with superballa and recieved a check. You just don't know how deeply moved I am and how helpful all this. keep up the good work and remember my apt. floor is open to any and all from the Band of Huddlers who want to come to NO when we rebuild. Many,many thanks Slayer Just taking a quick online moment to say you guys are awesome. Got the letter from SuperB a couple of days ago and I just wanted to say thank you. rajncajn Just talked to Tom and he wanted to relay his thanks to you all. He is back at his apartment still without power but with ya'lls donations we were able to buy him a generator which runs his A/C, T.V., and basic necessites. He is safe and again thanks you all. A big THANK YOU too everyone who has chipped in. My family and I greatly appreciate it. Your help will never be forgotten. It was great talking to you Nick, you guys are awesome. This post has been edited by Hitman: 9/19/05 05:25pm My brother, as all of those affected, has pride, and none of them want to feel like a needy cause, but the bottom line is they will all need help in the next several months, and i want to again thank everyone that has and will donate money. The message boards have really helped my brother to keep his spirits up and so once again for all of you that are active, my family is greatful! coachjb12 My brother has conveyed my feelings here very well but I wanted to tell you all in my words as well. To all who have donated here, Your generosity is without equal. For this many people to take money from their own pockets without hesitation to help a handful of people that in most cases they have never met just goes to show how great this country really is. The words " Thank You " can never express my gratitude. Last, To Superballa, alchico and NSab. The efforts that the 3 of you have put into this just blow me away. I will be seeing SB early this week but to the other 2 guys, When this is all over and we are back in our homes I will be extending a personal invitation for you all to come down and visit our rebuilt city. I want to personally shake your hands and thank you for all you have done not only for the Huddlers affected but for all the people of SE Louisiana and Southern MS. tbimm We need to keep this going, Some rough times are ahead for sure and with these other storms looming it could be even longer before things get back to normal. I know there are many other places people are donating, but this money is gong directly to our huddler bretheran You don't have to use Paypal, you can just mail a check, No donation is Too small, they Do add up. If you need any further info just PM Me or Superballa Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

theeohiostate Posted September 20, 2005 Share Posted September 20, 2005 Nice work! Would be great to see this pinned in this forum as well. I know i emptied my pockets a few times and will do so again when i get the next load of bills paid. Remember everyone this is not a race but a marathon, our fellow Huddlers will endure this tragedy for years to come and we need to keep them in our prayers and give what we can spare to brighten their lives as best we can.

Clubfoothead Posted September 20, 2005 Share Posted September 20, 2005 I'll be doing $20.00 every two weeks until told to stop. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alchico Posted September 21, 2005 Author Share Posted September 21, 2005 With the new storm coming i'm sure this fund can be put to good use. Let's not let it die I havn't had any new donations in a while but i'm not giving up. I had a thought today and maybe using paypal is holding people back, i'm going to see about getting a p.o. box today and if everyone just sent a buck or 2 it would really add up fast, Will update later today with the address. If someone could pin this that would be great. Also a link to the main thread in the Tailgate would be nice since i'm not sure how to do it.

theeohiostate Posted September 24, 2005 Share Posted September 24, 2005 Huddler efforts have contributed over $5000 now, USpersonal and corporate donations have reached over 1 billion. We can still make a difference, they will need our continued support. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Swiss Cheezhead Posted September 24, 2005 Share Posted September 24, 2005 I've been wanting to contribute and I still plan to; the last month has been a little rough on the budget. I'll be making a payment on the 1st of Oct and I like Club's idea, so I'll probably start doing that, too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Monsters Of The Midway Posted September 24, 2005 Share Posted September 24, 2005 Does this money go towards rebuilding where the hurricanes have destroyed or does it go towards relocation efforts? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chief Dick Posted September 24, 2005 Share Posted September 24, 2005 This fund was set up to help our fellow Huddlers in the area who need help. SuperBalla is in the area and has already dispersed checks to some of our friends from this website to help with rent, buy a generator, and just help with whatever they need.

alchico Posted September 29, 2005 Author Share Posted September 29, 2005 Just wanted to thank everyone who has donated so far and add that if we don't keep asking it will stop. I havn't had a donation in quite a while which is why there has been no Update. I'm going to check the P.O. box tomorrow and i hope it's full Again many thanks to all that have donated and to the generous people who have done so more than once. This plea goes out to those that may not have seen this yet or have not had a chance, now is the time We can take Paypal (alchico@pacbell.net) and we also have a P.O. Box Al chicovsky P.O.
