I'm kind of surprised nobody else has responded, I mean it's only a few bucks each, and we can possibly make a difference in a couple of young collectors lives, and restore their faith in humanity. Even if we just send one box to them, they'll remember it forever, I know they will. I thought it would be nice to take a bad experience, and make it right?
As far as collecting funds goes, there are hundreds of good boardies on here I would totally trust to take in the cash. It may be wise to find a trustworthy member who has the product in stock, and send the funds directly to them to avoid any multiple paypal fees transferring back, and forth? If there's a mod willing to take in the donations, that would be even better.
Let's get this rolling. We have 2 ready to send funds, and I'm sure there will be many more. Perhaps we should have them either move this, or start a new thread for this?
If this is a bad idea please say so. I just thought it would be nice if our community helped out these young kids who had their expo fun sadly taken from them?
