Guardian Angel II
- Thread starter Box and one
- Start date
Thank you all for doing this. Thank you for the kind words but like I said last year..you guys are the real "heroes" and "angels" doing this.I am only the "messenger".To think probaly tomorrow the Maddens will get in there mail box a few early envelopes with some money in them.And the only message will be " this comes from a guardian angel". Pretty powerful..And hopefully the next few weeks they will continue.
All you here are doing a beautiful thing.Again it is you people.
The good news is I have an "in" with the Maddens for some info. Mrs Madden sister,Samantha knows a little about whats coming.She will monitor whats going on and give me some info.
Again thank you Madjack for allowing me to do this here.

No offense, but i'm sure many people know of very worthy causes of their own, that they are much more personally involved in.
kosar-Man:Respect your post. Know we are bom-
barded with requests for help @ this time of the
year. Hell,dropped $$ in kettle@ Wal-Mart today.
However,Respected guy from Madjackers sees a
great need for a family,. Should do something
about that.By the way,,down in Ft.Meyers Last Wk

a week.Great time. Drove to Key West for 2days&
back. (That was a bitch) Wished we took the Gambling boat.Just want help for family posted on
different sites. Thanks for your reply.

thanks again box...letter is all set and I will drop it in the mailbox tonight..thanks again!!!!
If I may weigh in....Box brings this worthy cause forward with such a personal touch that it makes me feel so good to give and then also hear about the great reaction....I drop money in the kettle and other places as well but I just don't get the same feeling....so many times I will be in NYC and I don't want to hand the homeless cash because these people are usually drugging or drinking so I take them and buy them a sandwich.....It makes me feel good and it makes them hopefully feel better too....If I can I will give to any worthy cause...Box just makes this so right with his personal touch....how can any of us resist such a chance to give this family a lift at this time of the year....Like Tiny Tim from a Christmas Carol said....God bless us all....everyone
Matt, I will go on the record as saying that if any thread in the General Discussion Forum ever deserved to be "stickied", this one is in the running and I am confused as to why you feel differently.
Kosar...your right about people here that have there own worthy causes and that should take priority to the Maddens.And thats why I was only asking for a $5.00 gift...And I'm so grateful for madjack allowing me to do this here I don't want a "sticky". I never even heard that word used until I read todays post. What made the Maddens so special is "they never ever,ever,ever asked for anything these past two yrs.
I had all my teachers and staff collect money for 10 of our students that have nothing for X-mas.We call it our secret Santa for students.We pretend to have a raffle and the winners are called down.But our sp ed teachers have selected these kids.Today I called them down on the PA...it was great seeing these kids get there packages.Wallmart,Target,and Staples donated to me so much stuff. Plus we bought clothes,backpacks,sneakers,winter coats..The funny part about it is..each kid that wins has all his sizes customized.We had to call 6 parents to pick up there gifts because they can't get on the school bus with all there loot.What I'm really proud of is that 1,200 students know what we do and apprecaite and respect the secret santa...
Tommorrow is a big day for me. My daughter known here as little box over the years graduates from college.Thats two down in my family and two to go..take care..

Thanks Box, my Christmas season has officially started !!! There is something about doing for others, the return is priceless. All that read this should do something for others all the time. It doesn't have to be money. I have a friend that will be 80 in a few days, I shop for him and call him every day, we sit and talk and watch the news of the day and ball games. This guy has all the money in the world he needs, but people can't buy a friend to pass the time ,someone that cares about them. My father died , this will be my third Christmas without him. My buddy Jack does more for me than I will ever for him. Give a little, you won't believe what comes back at you. If you can laugh and cry in the same day, you have had one hell of a day. My day is off to a great start. When I started this post, I had no idea it would end up like this. Inspired by Box, see it works.
Box,
I just wanted to say I wish I had you as a teacher in school...over the years you have enlightened with many stories. My $20 bill is in the mail from a Guardian Angel in Newark Delaware. (I got the chills writing it out...its made my day)
Merry Christmas.

I saw this post earlier today. Went to dad's business and mentioned it to a few employee's and customers. All donations added up to a nice 3 figure number. Hopefully it will put a smile on their faces. Sent a money order.
