PoLiX Posted November 19, 2008 Report Posted November 19, 2008 I've donated to this for a few years (a forum I visit normally does a m!@#$%^&* donation together), but I think this year is more important than ever. As I know at my work we BARELY made 1million dollars in charitable donations, and they say they have done that without a sweat for almost 10yrs. People just don't have the money or feel they do to donate. But every dollar helps. So if you got any extra money sittin around this holiday and feel like you're in the giving spirit, http://www.lbeh.org/ is just one place I would recommend sending it. They help Military personnel who can't afford a trip home get there to see their family for the holidays. Quote

Audry Posted November 20, 2008 Report Posted November 20, 2008 (edited) He deleted my previous post where i was saying i'd prefer to give money to people that really need it (people who cant afford food) than giving it to military who knew the deal when they got in... thats where he said he dont appreciate me commenting Edited November 20, 2008 by Audry Quote
Corey Posted November 20, 2008 Report Posted November 20, 2008 Audry, if you were thinking of giving it to people in africa, dont, I just learned there is a 3% chance it makes it to them, its sad, really. Quote
Audry Posted November 20, 2008 Report Posted November 20, 2008 lol No i was mostly thinking about people here... in my city. Quote
PoLiX Posted November 20, 2008 Author Report Posted November 20, 2008 where does he say you shouldnt comment... doesnt the military pay for them to go home? Yes and no. It is a messy situation as my buddy Kevin is stuck in it right now too. Stationed in Germany, and no way he could afford the ticket home. If they are deployed and go on R&R during that deployment, then yes. But if they are stationed there, and go on R&R, then no. And most of these guys are younger guys who barely make jack !@#$%^&* for what they give. Whats $5 for a guy who'd lay his life on the line to make sure you have a safe home. Quote

They knew what they we're getting into when they had the family they couldn't afford, or when they left their family far behind and had noone around to help them when !@#$%^&* turned bad. People know what they are getting into, but sometimes need help. It works both ways. Edit: Oh, and I didn't delete your post. So wrong person... though remember there are active duty mods and admins around here. Quote
rootbear75 Posted November 20, 2008 Report Posted November 20, 2008 I would love to give ur budd ya guest p!@#$%^&* back but unfortunately, the last 2 i had went to my cousin to go to san juan to visit her husband's parents. Quote
