LOL...they know me well. My wife married the ultimate barbarian
I, once again, would like to thank everyone who contributed to the cause.
My wife was shocked that she met her goal and really wants me to pass on her appreciation for the kindness.

Guys,
I started this thread, but anyone can bring any project at any time.
This story is getting national attention and the GoFundMe for him has already met its goal, but if you guys want to do something then go with it.
I'm personally tapped out for a little while as there are some hefty expenses on the horizon around here, but you guys can do this or any other project whenever you want.

It's a fucked up situation, but they've got a good support network. We've got a box of diapers, clothes, toys, and misc reserves (toiletries and whatnot) headed out tomorrow. They're at 1,160 of a 2,500 goal so far.

Sweet Caroline Project
Some are already familiar with this effort via PM's, but I am adding the information here for all to see.
First things first - Please scroll up and see the last few posts regarding the family who lost virtually everything in the house for last month.
Caroline
Caroline is one of a pair of twins born with cerebral palsy. They are my across the road neighbors.
Their stepdad is an officer with the Virginia State Police.
They also have a set of younger twin girls together.
Caroline and Riley have been undergoing extensive therapies all of their lives.
Caroline just got home today from her biggest surgery to date - a spinal fusion operation intended on giving her the ability to hold her head up on her own and to be able sit upright unassisted or nearly unassisted.
Before and after photos of her spine.
Caroline came home today, after a rough week in the hospital at UVA
Who doesn't love their own bed?
I am rounding a little bit of money to help the family out with ongoing expenses.
Obviously, we cannot raise enough here to begin to touch their needs, but a little extra cash in their pockets for gas, travels to and from therapy sessions, groceries, etc. certainly can't hurt.
If you want to send Caroline a card directly, and or get in on the lump sum we're rounding up then PM me for details.
Thanks for the consideration and I'll keep things updated here.

Caroline's mom shared this a while ago.
I had no idea such a doctor still existed.
"You know you have a good surgeon when he calls on a weekend just to check and make sure Caroline has settled in at home ok. “Is she eating, going to the bathroom ok? Are you comfortable washing her incision? How did she rest last night? Has she smiled yet? And then he said “this is my cell, if you have any questions or concerns, please call me!” Makes me feel great to have him on her medical team."

I'm finally getting around to reading this thread. I avoided it at first because I thought it was a page of home defense stories, which are great, but this is much better.
Long overdue, but thanks for the kickoff @Tucker301!

We took it to group PM and finished it there, but if you want to throw another log on the fire it's still very much welcomed and appreciated.
They've got a LOT of expenses ahead of them.
I'll PM you.

Are we pitching in to fund tracking down the bastard thieves and doing some multi-cultural Muslim style justice to them?

It's a bit tricky for here because I don't think anyone here is directly involved, and I don't think you can buy tickets online.
That said, it's certainly a worthy cause and perhaps making a phone call is worth the effort.
I don't think there would be any issues shipping guns to winners, but getting that confirmed up front would be part of that phone call.

This hits close as I have a family member on this team.
BTW- If those that donate to this cause if you would tell them you are from the hide or GGWG I'd appreciate it greatly.

GGWG Strikes AGAIN!
A huge THANK YOU to @tmanners of Manners Composite Stocks for generously donating back to GGWG the full cost of the stock we bought for @1J04 !
This morning $1500 was transferred back to me by @1J04, and I just got finished using the funds to complete in full EIGHT Classroom projects on DonorsChoose!
7 of the projects were in Kansas City, where Tom and his amazing company are located, and I threw in a little bit of my own cash with the remainder and knocked out one more near my home! We lucked up and found projects that were being doubled by matching donations from other charities, so our overall impact, with those matching funds, exceeded $3,000 in funding!
As you can see from the screenshots below, all projects received a unified message.
Thanks to all members who have contributed to this and other GGWG projects! You guys ROCK!

"Dear Tucker,
This donation just brought tears to my eyes as well as to my students. We will be able to carry out our holiday projects now because we have the supplies we need. When I read the email that we were fully funded my students jumped up and down with excitement. I am so happy to report that we will put these classroom supplies to good use. I cannot express enough how grateful I am!
With gratitude,
Ms. Beckemeier"

Excellent use of funds, showing teachers that not all the propaganda they hear from the MSM about us "bitter clinging to our guns" types is true.
Getting a bit dusty in here. I'm proud to have the honor of sharing time with each and every one of you. It literally warms my heart......
wow how did I miss this.. tagging in and will read later.

Dude, you ought to be times man of the Year for some of this shit you've started.
Tom is deer hunting in KS, but he knows we've done this. There's more to come in the near future!
Well that was fun as hell. I personally would be in for another round of fund procurement that we hold in reserve until the right time.
My idea would be this.
See if we can set a goal for funds. Pick a number I don't care. Once that goal is reached then look for a place to bombard with donations such as today.
Some weeks I can give $20 some $200. And some can give $5 a week reliably. So if it went 5-6 weeks to meet the goal personally I would probably donate 2-3 times.
Anyway, just me thinking out loud. Today was a good day for sure.
Oh and for me personally the large PM works wonders.

Dear Tucker,
Thank you so much for your generous donation! These resources will be used for the benefit of our whole school community! Words can't express enough of what this means to our school. Take care and you'll be hearing from us soon! Have a great holiday season. Best wishes.
With gratitude,
Mr. Jenkins
