Heartfelt School request for a books donation

[Doug Varrieur]

Hi gang, I received this request today and I wanted to share it with you. The donate button is on the bottom left of the topic list on every board. If you wish to donate a dollar, 2 dollars or any amount for this cause I'm sure our ministry can provide this cause with a case of books.  

Hi Doug,
 
My name is Marcellus I have a non profit organization that offers free youth fitness boot camps for kids ages 10-17 yrs old... we teach kids about nutrition and exercise, I came across a video of you on you-tube when you where at the 700 club and i used it to show the kids about how having to much sugar in there diet can make them fat...
 
Doug the reason I'm writing you today is I was planning to get your book for me and my wife but as i kept thinking about it i came to the realization that it would be extremely helpful to the kids at our boot camp as well as there families...as i mentioned before we are a non profit organization and don't have a lot of money but was wondering if there is anyway possible we can have some of the books donated to us?
 
I am working with a kid that is 14yrs old and he weighs over 400lbs...his name is Kyle I work with him 3 times a week, he has optical migraines that affects his right eye... metabolic syndrome and his thyroid glands are abnormal as well and we are working hard to get him better. I'm hoping your book will save his life his mom is a nurse and has tried almost everything and is now thinking about gastric bypass surgery because he is just getting bigger... I don't want to see this happen and this is why I am trying so hard to work with him.... please help us!!!
 
to Him, i give the glory!!!

So how do we do this? If we hit "donate" will it go to this particular cause or is it just donating in general?

[umpa]

It goes into a account only to be used for  the costs of shipping books to schools.Doug and I donate the books for free.The donations are used for shipping. If you know a school that needs books have them contact us.The more we get out to the kids the better.If they are not taught they won't know what makes them fat or how to control their diabetes.

I just got a request this morning from a non profit who runs an exercise boot camp. He's a chief with the sheriffs office

Hi Doug - it's a worthwhile cause.  Better to step in early rather than when the problem is overwelming. Money's short all round, but every bit helps. I'm in.

[Doug Varrieur]

A case of books has shipped! Together we can all make a difference  Thanks!

[umpa]

And thank you Doug and Umpa for donating the books!

If we can save ONE child's life doing this, it's all worth it!

Hey, Doug!

Where did the donate button go?

I really hope this effort does not wane and disappear!
We MUST continue to do what we can to save the children!!!
