HELP - Collection to help Given to Live present a Wrigley Merch Package to Joshua - prizes added

Dear all, many of you will have read the journey that Given to Live have taken young Joshua on, its a journey that is both heartwarming and inspiring.

For those who havent it can be read about here: -

I wanted to reach out again and see who's with me in helping Tom of Given to Live (www.giventolive.com) give Joshua some items from the merch to cement the memories from this trip. Seeing Pearl Jam is said to be like Christmas for Joshua, but without the unwrapping, but when Is Christmas really Christmas without some gifts?

Tom does a wonderful job on a limited budget, and getting an applicant to a show in the USA for a second time (as opposed to keeping his operation within the UK) is a great achievement. However I know he would love to go that one step further and make sure the young man gets a goodie bag to really cap off the day. The donator of the tickets can never be thanked enough already and it is already shaping up to be another amazing day for this incredible young fan, so this is purely meant as the icing on the cake.

For those who haven't seen the posting from earlier this year when Joshua went to the Philly show, well everything you need to know is here: -

I was thinking it would be nice if we could present Joshua with: -

the event T shirts
Sticker, pin, patches, penants, keychain etc
Poster
Some cards
hat

etc

It wouldn't take a ton of cash, so if anyone wishes to donate a few $ to help set this up, I know Given to Live and Tom would be eternally grateful. You can rest assured there will be a full write up of the experience posted here, with photos etc. Tom is already on the ground in Chicago putting the final arrangements in place and making things run as smoothly as possible.

Thanks for reading..... Don't worry about the merch lines, we can take care of that. And to top this off I will be trying to get a setlist and a bunch of picks to heighten that smile.

TO donate - please simply PM me and I'll supply the details


There are 5 of the poster artworks designed for GTF available - signed by the artist. These will be sent out by Tom randomly to 5 people (regardless of donation size) who contribute to this endeavour either financially or by bumping and supporting the thread
