F*ck Karmic Focuses, DU needs to arrange a flower-bomb, STAT!

[DS1]

I ~know~ this can be done, it's been done before, it can be done again.

We need a single volunteer that lives in NY to gather up a shitload of flowers and deliver them to rbnyc in her hospital bed. That information will be floating around here somewhere.

However that person wants to arrange payment is up to them of course, paypal accounts can be set up in minutes, or they can take the good words of DUers they know.

I'll send a check or paypal for five bucks to whomever decides to carry out this mission (and better deliver!) tomorrow.

OK, who's the NY DUer, and who is gonna cough up some cash?

Surely I can't be the only one.

1. AMEN

my MasterCard is READY!!

THANKS MARTIN!!!

:bounce:

[DS1]

2. As is mine

I may be broke but I'm not broken.

I'll amend the title post by saying the check will go out tomorrow, or the paypal can go out whenever the link shows up.

3. OMG

Is she ok??? What about her wedding??? I completely missed this news! What is going on?
:loveya:

[DS1]

4. She's still getting married, but

with a bunch of broken stuff and she'll be in a hospital bed. Look for a karmic focus thread in the lounge.

Personally I think the karmic focus thing is a copout, type type, wipe hands. Hell, we've paid for a cat's surgery here before, much to the chagrin of another DUer but it can be done.

8. DS1.........

the author of the rbnyc thread is her mom, flama.

[DS1]

9. good info

thx

[LWolf]

5. PM me directions about where to send the $$ or flowers.

It will be there.

[DS1]

7. I don't have this information yet, I'm looking for a NYC based DUer

to help out. Even if that just means finding a flower delivery service and collecting the cash to carry out this mission.

[nothingshocksmeanymore]

10. How about Flama? Or Soleft?

[DS1]

11. working on these things

juggling a bunch of stuff right now, mostly the pay pal terms of agreement.

[BurtWorm]

18. I live in NYC.

What's the deal? Where is she?

[DS1]

19. We don't know yet

She's in some hospital in the area, and a perfect situation would be for a fellow DUer to deliver the flowers to her. The flowers are pretty much bought, it's just a matter of finding a) where she is and b) the person to deliver them

[BurtWorm]

20. I may be able to tomorrow.

Sunday is less likely. Keep me posted by e-mail or PM, okay?

[nothingshocksmeanymore]

6. I will send $20 to paypal

pm details

[matcom]

12. bling bling

:kick: this fucker

[DS1]

13. kick dammit, this is more important than freakin star trek!

Flame all you want, that's the plan, do my kicking work for me!

Any more donors to RBNYC's cause out there? Banged up (broken pelvis,wrist, other) on the eve of her wedding day, she'll even be getting married in her hospital bed!

Cough up the cash for some flowers, DUers!

Pledge here, and ye shall receive instructions.

[Khephra]

14. Mail me when you get some info about how you want to do it

and I'll pitch in too. I told Matcom that earlier, but I don't know if you knew that DS1.

[Ellen Forradalom]

15. Count me in

I remember the fundraiser for McGee, author of 'No Longer a Paycheck from Homelessness.'

[Khephra]

16. kick

:kick:

[Khephra]

17. kick

[soleft]

21. I'm in touch with a friend of Rene's

As soon as I get the hospital info I'll let you know, DS1

[DS1]

23. great! thx!

looking forward to info

[LynneSin]

22. Flowers are nice, but why not send them one hell of a wedding present

with a nice bouquet of flowers

Think about it, you're getting married and you're expecting AND one of you is laid up in a hosiptal room.

Flowers are the last thing they need

I have addresses, PM me for details. I will only give it out to those people I know, the rest will have to figure out the details

[DS1]

24. sounds like you have the power

make it happen, you have our support, see pm

[nothingshocksmeanymore]

25. Actually she will probably be disabled for a while

it would be nice to take up a collection for her. Last I heard Ed McMahon hadn't knocked on her door yet. We might still want to do the pay pal thing.

[ulysses]

31. I'd rather do that

Nothing against flowers, DS1, but bread before roses?

Heal quickly, Rene!

[DS1]

32. well, at least I got ~something~ done

:evilfrown:

Go ahead, organize something.

[Rabrrrrrr]

26. DS1 - what's the status?

Do we have a place to send money?

Do we have someone to deliver flowers?

Count me in for a donation!

[DS1]

28. We're still looking to track down the hospital

:shrug:

[Rabrrrrrr]

29. Do we have a place to make donations yet?

Way the hell too many hospitals in NYC.

[prolesunited]

27. So, how are we doing this?

Is there an account set up somewhere? I don't have enough to do much on my own but I would be interested in contributing to a group effort.

[DS1]

30. It is done

donors that volunteered on this thread should have all been contacted via PM, if not, PM me and I'll send along the details, but we have everything pretty much wrapped up.

Thanks everyone for your help!
