Ce care package.

[Priscilla]

SSDlovesLA@gmail.com

is set up and linked to it's own paypal account.

Do we want to collect $50? $75? $100 for Ce?

A lego set is $30-50 and a Gamecube game is in the same range or we could just do a gift card (assuming there is a TRU where he is)

I'm totally open to whatever you think we should get for him but that is what I've set up and Toys R Us allows paypal payments so I won't have to worry about linking to a bank account to get the money out.

P.S.
Don't forget to shop in her store!

[rach3975]

I just sent some. Thanks, Priscilla.

[FireWolf]

I think $100 would be a good amount. It will easily allow CE to get a lego set and a game. I'll be sending money in the morning.

[newfiemountiewife]

Sent, Priscilla.

I think he needs a DSi and a couple of games, if you collect enough.

That is a GREAT idea, Angie!

[Angie4b1g]

If 20 people send $10, that's more than enough for a DSi and a couple games, and something he can carry with him rather than only use at home (if he's having to stay with family until she recovers etc).

I sent my $10.

[Priscilla]

If everyone is "game" for us collecting that much then sure!

[*Celeste*]

I sent some if you need more to hit your goal please don't hesitate to PM me.

[Priscilla]

I just did a quick search (on phone) and the DSi is between $135-150 and games are $20-30 each. So that in the $200 ballpark.

Yep...ditto to this.

[Gemma]

I'll happily send something, probably on Tuesday if that's not too late!

[Gemma]

In fact I have a random £9.50($15) in Paypal somehow so sending it now, I didn't know it was there so I definitely don't need it lol!!

[color of my heart]

Ditto here too. Once it slows down, see how much you're short, and I'm sure we can come up with it.

[4noisyboys]

I'm going to send some right now too...but I know Ce likes to also color and stuff, and given a gc, he'll buy fun art things and maybe even legos or whatnot. He likes to shop at Target! He's so cute too...he'll probably want to get his mom something with it!! Sorry...I don't know what a TRU is.

[*Celeste*]

TRU=Toys R Us.

[SamaraGugler]

Count me in too. I'm sending some right now.

ROFL!!!
You can tell I'm out of the loop with kids stores!

[Priscilla]

UPDATE:

You all ROCK!!!

Okay, it's barely been 12 hours and there is $169 in the account. (I assume paypal is "charging" us a fee?? I'll look into that in a bit)

make that $183!

I have a DSi, mario cart game, nerf protector (we didn't do one right away and ours ended up with cracks, I think it's a MUST), and a case that carrys the DS, cord, games and stylus.

total there comes to $262 with estimated shipping at $11.

The player itself is exactly $169.

So we want to add in another game? or just the one for now? If so what suggestions do you have?

I can also pick something besides MArio Cart, it just so happens to be a household favorite for both my DS and my DH so I think it would be fun for Ce too!!

---

It's time to make lunch for my DH and kids but I just wanted to let everyone know where we stand right now!!

Thanks for organizing this Priscilla.

[4noisyboys]

When I donated, I clicked "personal" and then "gift". It shouldn't charge a fee if you do it that way! If you clicked on "goods" then it will.

That is how I understand it anyway, and when people have paid me that way, there has been no fee.

[4noisyboys]

and yes....thank you so much Priscilla!! You rock!!

[Priscilla]

I'll probably order first things Monday Morning, so if there is a balance I will also send a target gift card for him!

and you are welcome but the biggest thanks is for everyone at SSD

[Jenn Barrette]

Thank you for organizing this!

[Penny Springmann]

Priscilla - Ce is a HUGE Star Wars fan so the Legos Star Wars DS game would also be great...if you have enough money.
Adding some now!

[MommaTrish]

I'll be glad to send some money when my refund comes in.

[newfiemountiewife]

Amazing!!!! What a beautiful community we have here! *sniff

He LOVES LOVES LOVES Star Wars, so Penny's suggestion would be great!

[cindys732003]

Just sent some money along!
Thanks for doing this Priscilla!

Yup, that's how I done it, so I paid the fee for it.

[SweetMelissa]

I can't send anything right now but I should be able to by Friday. I'm waiting for some reward money from surverys to be added to my paypal count.

[MommaTrish]

since some of us can't send any now, what about using any you get in excess to get a her a gift card to some sort of grocery store? Something that will come in handy once she gets out of the hospital?

[BrattyMeg]

Just sent some $$

I agree with the Star Wars game. He would love it!

[4noisyboys]

I'm sure anything extra that Priscilla gets will be used to get a GC for La to get groceries or whatever. Just give when and if you can!!

[Priscilla]

We have enough for what's in my cart with 2 day shipping.

we can STOP or collect another $15-20 for an extra game.

[Priscilla]

So should I add Star Wars game? ? ?

And I agree ... My DS has Lego batman and it rocks.

Which one?

LEGO Star Wars III: The Clone Wars for Nintendo DS ("new" and $30)

or

Lego Star Wars: complete Saga (older and $20)

If there's enough for the Star Wars game you should definitely add it!

[jocelinsmommy]

what are we short if we throw in the star wars game---?? I'll send a paypal now if u can tell me what we're short )

[Priscilla]

scratch previous statemment that we need more.... Star Wars Clone Wars Game added and we have enough, almost to the PENNY!! The only thing "lacking" the the extra for fast shipping but I will be covering that.

I will order this evening .... Shawna is getting the best address for me to send.

[jessica31876]

just sent some money and I shopped at her personal store last night

[BrattyMeg]

which game do you have in there now?

TRU has a few DSi promotions right now that are probably worth looking into (free nerf case with one..that saves $18 bucks..almost another game) and free 2 day shipping but I think you have to use the promo link

also..if you buy Lego Star Wars (19) you can get Lego Batman for $6. If bought in addition to Clone Wars that's 3 good games at a decent price

[newfiemountiewife]

What do you have in there? All of the things you mentioned before (games, DSi, case, etc)? Let me know if you're short any!

[Davita]

Priscilla, are we still collecting for this? I want to do something to help.

[nun69]

let me know if you are still collecting And I think he would totally LOVE the Star Wars game Cause I can certainly give towards a GC or whatever else you decide to do with the extra money

[knlchevys]

Thank You Priscilla. Just sent some

[newfiemountiewife]

I think she was still collecting, and if there's anything left over, she was going to do a GC, I think that's what she said. She can let me know if I'm wrong

[junebug]

wow you guys are amazing to be doing this for La and Ce! i'm short on cash right now; i may be able to pick up a kit in her shop but i can't swing much right now. but i do know that La and Ce are two very loved and lucky people.

[dover6473]

Just sent some! Gonna go shop at her store as well.
