help for Tamara

PrairieMom wrote: I was just thinking about Tamara, there has to be a way we could help her out. being away from home has to be so expensive for them, what about pulling together some $ for some gift certificates to restaurants around the childrens hospital for them? for Gas cards or something?
I can poke around for specifics in her area, but is anyone interested?
I will step up to be the organizer. I have her # so I can talk to her to find out where to send stuff.
Any ideas? Just throwing this out there, I am open to suggestions.

Maddie&EthansMom replied: Tara this is such a great idea! I think the gift cards to restaurants is perfect!

Danalana replied: Sounds good to me.

sparkys2boys replied: I am sooo in.. Just let me know what to do. What a great idea!!

PrairieMom replied: tonight after the kids go to bed I will scan around the internet and see what is available in her area, things like pizza hut are good becuase they will deliver directly to the hospital.
Or, should we just do cash and they can put it where they need it most?
I have pay pal, so PM me if you are interested, and we can do it that way , its fastest, or we can do snail mail checks too. what ever.
I can do it if we put a deadline of Friday on it, but if we want to push the deadline out further someone else will have to do it, because I work the weekend and am having surgery and won't be able to drive after tuesday.

AlexsPajamaMama replied: I think this is such a great idea, very thoughtful! I know she will appreciate it.
Maybe a walmart gift card or target,whatever is closest to where she is.

Ill see what I can contribute.

gr33n3y3z replied: I think A Visa Gift card would be best it can be used any where

PrairieMom replied:
ooohhhh... where would i get my hands on one of those?

gr33n3y3z replied:
Just about any store has them let me see ummm Visa themselves on the net
and also many food stores carry them

MommyToAshley replied:
I was just going to suggest the same thing... a Visa Check card. You should be able to buy one just about any place. Drugstores, grocery stores... any place that sells gift cards. You can buy them in specific designations or put any amount on it.

Please PM me with your paypal account.

boyohboyohboy replied: tara count me in too..

gr33n3y3z replied: Let me know your pay pal info

lovemy2 replied: Absolutely in - and the Visa check card is a perfect idea.....

Post that paypal info....

luvmykids replied: I know Blakley and Ayden are back at home, so I think the Visa card would be great...that way they can use it for gas (they're about 3 hours from home) or Starbucks or whatever. I'd like to contribute too, pm me your paypal please

What are you having surgery for?

PrairieMom replied:
I am having my bunions on both my feet fixed. No biggie, but I will be in walking boots for at least 3 weeks, and won't be able to drive. its gonna be rough around here.
I will get list comprised and pay pal info out tomorrow. I'm burning muffins right now.

Kirstenmumof3 replied: I'm definately in! What you all did for my Family was absolutely wonderful and if I can help out someone else, I will gladly do it!

punkeemunkee'smom replied: Tara we must be linked...great minds and such I was thinking the same thing so I am in! I put a call in today to the hospital about paying for the Ronald McDonald house for them...It is only about 10-15 a night but that adds up quickly-that and foodcards at the hospital since I am sure she is spending most of her time there...gas cards for Larry too. If it gets too late for you to drive I will be happy to help...

My3LilMonkeys replied: Add me to the list to send the paypal info to please! Money is tight this week but I'd like to give what I can.

MoonMama replied: What a wonderful idea! I am definitely in!
