$106 to a special charity which sent enough seeds (veggie) to outback Russia to feed 40 families this next year. And a separate $100, which paid shipping for 67 pairs of shoes to the same place.

In the spirit of Tnet and in memory of my Neighbor "Moatsie"
Who passed away yesterday, I am donating $100 to his favorite
charity.
Neighbor Moatsie shared stories of his detecting adventures
back in the '70s. I have few friends on this earth, and he will
surely be missed!
I love you, you old son of a )(*$@!!

I know it wasn't found clad, but our family sponsored a needy family this Christmas. I will be putting on my Santa's Hat, Christmas Day and deliver presents and Christmas Dinner. My kids got together, put their saved up coins together, and purchased a Carharrt Coat for a young orphan girl. I AM a very proud Dad, this Holiday!!!!!!

Not a clad donation, but my wife and I gave a $500.00 donation to the Salvation Army and one of their families this week. Hope you can add this to your goal.

Merry Christmas

Raye,

I don't metal detect but we have a running till and a use can for the machines.
The crew and I counted these at a total of $72.80

we all agree that it will go to a good home in your project so it was converted to bills this AM
and placed in the kettle at our local Hobby Lobby.

Thanks for an awesome Idea.

Well we did this before I read your post but at work we collected over $300 for a needy family in the adopt a family program. We were able to purchase most of the items on their wish list. It is really sad when the kids are asking for clothes/shoes/coats and the parents want gift cards from the food store. I did sneak some toys in there with the other items....a few hand held video games for the boys and a some games the entire family could play together.

Also donated $10 towards toys for tots and I believe my wife sent in $50 to Sloan Kettering which we try to do each year.

Congratulations to everyone donating this holiday season...bravo to you all.

I don't know if this counts or not but I will still share my experience with you I went into the local wal-mart here in town and was just walking around looking for a Christmas present for my little sister. There where two adults standing there with what looked like a 7-8 year old little girl that was in a wheelchair, she wanted a bike for Christmas and her parents told her they didn't have enough money and her surgery wouldn't allow her to ride the bike, now you could look at these people and tell that they did not have much money, well the dad rolled the little girl away and her mom was talking to a women that worked there about possibly putting the bike on layaway, she said that she walmart didn't offer layaway anymore and the women just broke down into tears, I know that this was none of business and that i shouldn't have gotten involved but I did. The family had some odd and end grocery items that they had to pay for, so when she left I walked over to the bikes and the price tag said 75.95 I rolled the bike up to front, paid the 75 bucks to one of the 5 cashiers, and told her to please give it to the little girl in the wheelchair with the poorly dressed parents, and tell them that this is from an anonymous buyer. She said she would. I just went back yesterday to buy some steaks and looked for the cashier that I gave the bike to and surprisingly she was there I asked if she remembered me from a few days ago and she said no, then I reminded her, she smiled and said that she had only seen 2 men cry in her entire life and that little girls daddy was the 2nd. I hope she likes her new present.I want to wish all you a merry Christmas and a very happy new year

Hello my name is adrian, and live in Huntington, Indiana and every year my family and I donate time and money to the worthy causes of our community every year for the past four years we pick about five name's from the cristmas tree at our local wal-mart and buy gift's for those kids in need the ave per child we spend is about $50.00 and we also fill two family's tables with all the trimming's for the christmas and thanksgiving holiday we feel that it could easily be us on the other end and feel fortunate to be able to supply our kids with their wants and needs our kids also join in on this. we try to teach them to feel lucky that what we have is by the grace of god and our good fortune and that not everyone is in our situation so we must help those who need a hand out and that at any given time things could change.
