This is a worthy cause, and I am a bit stunned at some comments here. This is how you help yourself, your neighbor, and your world. By helping ONE individual at a time.


.......I wish I could give more.

I'm happy to report all is good with their eyes. :yeah:

Edit: Here ya go. Both had their eyes covered like this for a long while. Man, were they tiny. No bigger than my hand..




I got to hand it to those in the NICU at Johns Hopkins.

Yep, my daughter spend the first three months of her life like that. The life that the rest of us take for granted every day is a slender thread to a preemie.


I understand that some may have an opinion about charities, etc. That's fine, but for the sake of courtesy, let's not turn this thread into that discussion.

That is good news. I worked on the prototypes for Datex Ohmeda's INO Vent which was used first in NICUs . The idea is that the Nitric Oxide is mixed with O2 so that the baby's can respirate and oxygenate at a much lower percentage than we could have even 10 years ago. :rock:

Arclight 06-25-09 04:00 AM
Done and done. :yep:

Money well spend. :salute:

Today the girls go for inguinal hernia surgery. I feel for them because I have been there and done that when I was 19 years old. Six weeks of sitting. I could do nothing and mean nothing. :down: After this surgery both should be 100%. Again, I have to credit the docs and nurses at Johns Hopkins. :yep:


Hey, you are over $200.00. That is great. Man, the wife would be hating it if she got to $999.99. She would still be locked up.:o

Good Job SS! :yeah:

SteamWake 06-25-09 08:21 AM
Wow good job !

This thing must be comming to a head I had no less that 6 requests from different clients in my email this morning :o

Keep it up !

GoldenRivet 06-25-09 08:23 AM
she still has a lot of immediate family and friends who have not donated.

I think they want to see her go in before they bail her out.

But August 5th is a long way from now... maybe its possible she will make bail before then ? who knows? if she tries hard enough :D

thanks ArcLight!

we appreciate subsims help and support! :salute:

Arclight 06-30-09 08:08 AM
BUMP

With over 6000 people passing through here daily, you'd think she would be there by now. :hmmm:

Cheapskates! :D :rotfl: just kidding. ;)



Emptied some more leftovers in my PayP account, and remembered to send the receipt info by mail this time. :doh:

AVGWarhawk 06-30-09 08:29 AM

So what's going on at this point, is she actually locked up? :06:

GoldenRivet 08-08-09 01:27 AM
She went in on the 5th of August and they locked her up for a while.

Her primary goal was $1,000

Secondary goal was $500

once she surpassed the secondary goal amount of $500, the event was waning towards reaching its conclusion and she posted her bail :up:

all total i think our community raised some $40,000+

area businesses volunteered their workers to go to jail... my wife was one of them. From her company i think there were 4 other people.

her bail amount was the highest from within her company.

I'm very proud to say that the subsim community made up about 60% of her total bail amount - if i sat to do the math im sure my estimate of 60% is on the low side.

well done guys... i can promise there is a child out there who is benefiting from that money as i post this.

EDIT: We didn't quite get 100 donations through subsim - but the donations we did receive through subsim were quite generous. Neal insisted that i not donate to subsim for each member who contributed as we had originally agreed - that instead i should donate the final tally to the March of Dimes... it was mighty big of him... but in the end subsim received a very modest contribution anyhow :O:

GR, much love to you and your wife for this. While I didn't donate to this cause this time around (frankly I forgot), my wife and I have decided to donate to the Wisconsin chapter for this year and next. If there's any way we can give you and your wife credit for your hard work, please PM me with details and let me know.

In any case, good job with your valient support, and thank your wife for her participation! You both and your work represent the best of us all!

Arclight 08-08-09 03:14 AM
I'm glad to hear it went well, kudos to the jailbird. :salute: ;)

GoldenRivet 08-08-09 03:22 AM
she has expressed to me - literally time and time again - that she would have been nowhere even remotely close to her goal without the generosity of the subsimmers. :up:

truly a team effort.

I hope we did some good out there.

hell... i know we did :rock:

Seriously, I'd like to know...

Personally, I hope that your post and any subsequent post related to it (including this one) is deleted so that this thread can remain on the very good topic of helping your fellow man.
Yea it's funny though...When I speak about, say, the UNICEF and it's global programs to help children world wide Americans say things like "F - you commie" etc. I guess some charities are ok then.

My best friends son was born 3 months too early,fortunately we have good healthcare in the Netherlands and he is now a 1,5 year old boy and everything turned out fine..

Good luck with the cause!

Coming from a country were animal rights activists lock themselves in cages in the middle of the dam in Amsterdam,smeared with blood i'm kind off surprised by the harch reactions on the imprisonment thing...for god sakes lighten up,any way of trying to get people to donate for a good cause is justifiable..people need to wake up and stop being sarcastic and help eachother in any way..a smile,keeping a door open...you could be surprised how good it makes you and others feel,just try it..;)

For one, I would never say that about any legitimate charity. For two, I'd never donate to UNICEF because it has a ridiculous amount of United Nations ineffeciency involved, but hey - it's still a good cause. I just know of better charities.
