Free Pearl Jam package for someone in need.

Hey all,

2 years ago I was batteling cancer for almost a year. It was a rough period for me and I was even too sick to attend the Pearl Jam concert at the Bell Center in Montreal. I had tickets to that show that I offered to someone who couldn't afford going to the show and that loved the band for years ! After the show, he showed up at my door and had bought me a shirt and a poster ! I litterally cried and couldn't thank him enough.

Today is my second anniversary being cancer free and I wanted to send a little something out to a special person here that is going through the same situation now.

I know it is not much but I know that being sick prevents you from buying these little things that make you feel alive and normal. You end up in debts over your head and at some point you just can't see the end of it. Some of you might have seen my other post where I was selling atuff and probably called me a flipper or whatever, but there is sometimes a valuable reason for selling stuff.

So is there anyone on this forum that you know that is currently in a fight for their life and that could use a little smile ?

Thank you.

Julien

    Congrats on winning the fight! While we all of course hope no one needs such a caring pick-me-up right now, and unfortunately know that someone will soon enough, this is a very sweet way to commemorate your win and that kind act that buoyed you. :)

    If you are unable to find someone who needs it, a charity auction and donate the money to the charity of your choice would be cool too.
