ISSI & [VvV] helping kids?

Hi guys, been a while since I've stopped by your site.

Long story short:
Our daughter got sick at 3 months old, had to be admitted to Doernbecher Children's Hospital in Portland she had a live saving surgery. Since we have had a few more trips up there. She just celebrated her 2nd birthday and is wonderful.
My wife and I did a toy drive for Doernbecher's this last fall at the High School I coach Football for.
It was extremely successful! We raised over $1200 and 300 toys, just a couple weeks ago we took the end results up to the hospital just under 900 toys. It felt great to know we could help out so many kids.
I will have a page up soon, I'll be working on it over the weekend.

Next year we are hoping to blow those numbers out of the water! Next year I am going to get VvV involved and hoping if you guys have time we could try to raise a little $$ and maybe some video games for the older kids.

I'll be back to answer any questions and post the link to our page.

Thanks for you time guys, I wish you all the best and I'll see you on the battlefield.

Your friend,
Ryan. 'Kokido'.

Thats awesome Kokido.

I'll talk to you on the side and we'll see what we can do next year.









I'm gonna ask you questions, and every time you don't give me answers, I'm gonna cut something off. And I promise you...
they will be things you will miss!

I've pitched in on toy drives and stuff for the local LeBonheur when I worked with a lady who's son had leukemia. They are great programs to be associated with and I've got to see the results first hand.

Here's another site if you need some ideas. toysfortots.org

Count me in when you get ready to kick things off.

wow thanks guys! I will be in touch when we start planning again next year!
Don't judge to harshly, but here is what I got made tonight: http://www.vvvhq.com/bf/VvV_for_Toys.html

I will have a site dedicated just for this but Im in the process of redoing our site and figured just throw a page up real quick.

Again, from the bottom of my heart, thanks for the replies!
Ryan.
