TO ALL FROM THE BOTTOM OF MACKER'S HEART:
first i want to say that the response has been overwhelming in reference to the kids fund. second, i want to make sure everybody knows that i did not solicit this in any fashion, because i know there will always be skeptics out there. i have already set up with bank a non-profit account with no interest of charges.
i would like to also say that you do not have to feel committed to any particular amount or percentage or portion of you profits. i willingly give of my of dd on stocks without any expectations for return reward. many of you whom pm back and forth with me can verify this. i give of myself willingly and from the heart to the kids and would want to you to do the same. i said a couple days ago that there are other blessings in life other than money and this is certainly one of them, your kindness and generosity.
i have made new and good friends through the last 5 weeks of being on si, and that is whats important, because you cant take the money with you when you go, mr. d., the most valuable thing your wife left you with is fond memories, God bless you.
the address for the donations is:
Nicksic's kid's charity fund
c/o first national bank
p.o. box 99
Hebron, IN, 46341
phone number at bank is 219-996-2199
The children will be bought a van for transportation, basketball clothes, shoes, a floor for the gym, books, Christmas presents.
the children are some without any parents, wards of the state, abuse victims, all different races and religions, no discrimination. they will be part of several outreach type programs, giving them a chance to interact as "real" children should all be able to experience. they will be taught basic life skills, and most importantly that are not to be faulted for their plight and that they are not outcasts.
God bless all and thanks again.
