Is there a way to pitch in specifically for the toys? I'm not knocking the fandom's generosity, but I'm not so keen on helping buy someone a new computer when I keep getting shutoff notices for the electricity, but I'd like to pitch in a few bucks toward toys for sick kids. :)
So where are people sending the toys?(In case he has some stuff available). I know you can't send stuff to a P.O. Box if you want it signed to make sure that it gets there :(
People are horrible. I'm glad to hear that so much money has been raised (and I'm sure more will be in the next few days as people continue to check Cassie's LJ) and am about to move some stuff around so that I have enough money in my account to donate via PayPal.
If I may be so forward as to ask: at which hospital is Heidi a resident at? You see, I'm planning on being in the NY/NJ area 3.5 weeks starting next Friday, and I already planned on bringing tons of stuff (winter coats, toys, books) to donate to some drives in which my sister (who lives in the city) participates in. If the toys don't need to be anything specific, I'd be willing to bring plenty more with me - plus, I live in Michigan where everything seems to be cheaper than NY.
I just am catching up on my flist and saw the original post too -- it's amazing to see fandom's powers used "for good"...especially since I've seen other fandoms jerked around in similar situations.
You are amazing for doing this, Heidi!!! If I had even $0.05 left after my utilities this month, I'd send it, but I am already $$$ short this month and next.
That's the wiggy thing about this month as a time for something like this. On one level, it's good because of holiday discounts, and on another, everyone is pretty stretched thin because of preexisting life-and-hols commitments. I know the good wishes are all appreciated.

As for the Star Wars stuff it's lucky that I have a contact who deals in that so I'll contact him tomorrow.

I guess I shouldn't use my George Lucas Is Stupid - Throw Rocks At Him icon this week?
