+2, I love that idea. I'd happily kick in 20 bucks or so every year to help a family out. Shouldn't be hard to find one, or we can just donate to a charity that will give the money to a family in need. This would also prevent the need for someone in particular to coordinate it and worry about how to present the gift without offending. This thread probably isn't the appropriate place to discuss the details (don't want to hijack) but I love the idea.
I does make me feel good to see so many people chip in. Rodney, thanks for leading the way.

Rod, I know you personally and I know this came from your heart. Thank you for pointing me to this thread. You were right, after reading the story, well... the rest is history! Big-ups for the great idea that "got outta hand!!!" :banana:
I got a car with a title I cant clear. Bought it from someone, but it has a lien on it from a dealership thats out of business. If anyone knows someone at Motor Vehicle that can investigate the lien so I can clear it, he can have the car!
I'd love to see this be a changing moment in his life situation.
pp sent.
wow, I was one of the first few to post in this thread and never came back to look until just now. figuring I would like to just see what everyone else has said. simply amazing what has taken place. And I can also attest that the original thought from Rod came from the heart, as I know him personally and JR as well. both great people as well as so many others as we have seen.
JR, glad cutoff isn't till midnight. money coming over shortly.
Another great idea with picking a family every yr. The first thing I thought of was former FSU and current NFL (tampa bay buc's) running back, Warrick Dunn. Such a wonderful person and role model. If you don't know what he has gone through or what he has been doing, I encourage you to search his name. It is amazing what he has been doing for a number of yrs now and how he has gotten a number of other NFL players involved or inspired them to do something similar to what he does.
this is just what he has done this year

This was great JR. for a couple of days it took my mind off all the bullshit that's going on in the world and focused on a very special moment. Thank you. And for once a thread that's gone multiple pages without a bad word being spoken to one another.....Merry Christmas indeed!:beer:

I never look in this forum but did today for some reason and just read this...$20 sent. I trust JR will see to it that they get it in due time....probably not in time for Christmas but I'm sure a belated Christmas gift is none the lesser! Good work JR...good work indeed.
