Well as some of you have read from the post below Lisa from BeginnerBasics dad is ill (brain tumor) and in the hospital. She will be traveling up to see him on wednesday. She will be driving from Fl. to Va. a 14 hour drive on the day before Thanksgiving, as she can't afford a plane ticket right now. I thought it would be nice if everyone with some money to spare could contribute money to her so she could fly up. It would be very nice and make a very tough situation easier for her. I will personally start the contributions with a $20 donation. If even half the regualars donated half of that, Lisa would be able to fly to Va. Being able to fly would also make the return trip easier for her as she plans on returning with her father. Which would be tough because she would have to bring the vehicle she drove up and his truck back. It is the holiday season and we should all find it in our hearts to help others in our community in need.

If you would like to contribute you can send money Directly to Lisa via paypal. Her paypal account is beginnersbasics @ aol.com
obviously remove the spaces around the @ symbol that is in there so it doesn't get deleted. Also Joel Has an awesome male dragon that he will donate the highest bid, by 10 EST tonight, directly to lisa. And Christy is donating all proceeds from sales of classy lizard lounges. Both offers are very generous. Please consider helping out a fellow herper in her time of need. And remeber tis the season to give.

I am posting this without Lisa herself knowing. I talked to her this morning about her situation and felt really bad for her. To have to spend the upcoming holiday driving and worrying about a sick father is a very poor way to spend thanksgiving.


Thank You for your generosity
Derek
