    Wooooooooooooooooooow...

    I just finally got around to reading all of this, i'm at work early to catch up on some stuff...

    You guys are all so wonderful. Thank you to each and every one of you for kind words, support, love and donations. I really don't know what to say...

    The monetary donations nearly brought me to tears... The amount of generosity here is overwhelming, and when i have more time, i'll thank each and every one of you.

    I'll also give you an account of events from that tragic sunday, as i'm sure many of you are curious. I just don't have the time right now, and i'm still without internet access at the place we're currently staying.

    God bless you all, and please, know that my family and I appreciate every single thing each of you have done or said.

    -Chris.

    Hey, that's what the "Jamily" is here for. Stay strong and we're all thinking about you and all of Joplin

    We're setting up a drop off point at the STL EV party/fundraiser for items for Chris.
    So please check the OP to see what is still needed and I'm sure paypal and GC are very welcomed! :mrgreen:

    Me and Melissa(ozarkcoolchic) are going to make arrangements to get everything to Chris.

    OMG I can't believe I'm just finding this now
    I'd love to help Chris and his family somehow
    Yet, I'm not back to work yet and cannot really help out financially

    Is there a list of what was donated/what is still needed?

    There's got to be something I can do for them
    peace,

    My thoughts and prayers go out to Chris and his family.

    If you look at the first post in this thread, it has all of the mailing info. That should get you sorted out.

    I did, but actually i can't "mail" stuff from Portugal, it would take ages to get there and probably get stucked in customs(?) :(

    I could send some an e-mail gift card but i didn't get to wich e-mail from the first post (maybe the paypal one?)

    Thanks for your answer :)

    I think the pay pal email address would be ok as long as he knows a gift card is coming so he does not think it is SPAM.

    Talked to Chris this morning and he says
    Gift cards are more helpful than anything else right now.

    He will be at the STL party so if anyone needs an address to send gc to, you can mail them to me. You can all trust me, I've done a bunch of preparties, I'm a good girl.
    Here's the link to the party page on facebook, it has my address there.

    Was finally able to make it to the post office and some new PJ CDs and DVDs are on their way to Chris.

    For people who are going to the St Louis EV show, don't forget that you can drop items off for Chris at the pre-party.

    YES!!!! Please bring some stuff to the STL party. Chris will be there! Let's show him how awesome the PJ community is. I'm sure he knows, but let's all help him out as much as he can. :mrgreen:

    Me and Melissa will make sure everything donated to him will go to him.

    ANyone know if Chris would be interested in a bunch of PJ bootlegs I have extra copies of? Most of them have jewel cases with artwork made for them.

    Feel free to reply or pm me.

    Thanks!
