Guest guest Posted June 15, 2004 Report Share Posted June 15, 2004 Hey guys - I have had this idea stirring around for a while. The Oley Foundation (for tube fed/TPN folks) has an incredible Donation List. Basically families list what they have to donate (some say shipping free, but usually the receiver pays for shipping). Any family can go on line or read their newsletter. We could do G-tube parts, clothing, extra bottles of formula, wetsuits, etc. Another idea would be that we could list everything (wouldn't it be neat if we could have a volunteer who managed the program....) and photos could be posted too, and families could even make a donation if they wanted to MAGIC for the items..... hee hee. Just brainstorming here. Thoughts???? > Okay - I know, I'm new to the group and all I can talk about is > clothing. Don't yell at me just yet.

Guest guest Posted June 16, 2004 Report Share Posted June 16, 2004 I think it's a great idea. Would you coordinate a donation list as part of the Magic newsletter, would it be a separate peice? Would the list be provided on this website or another? Just thinking here. > > Okay - I know, I'm new to the group and all I can talk about is > > clothing. Don't yell at me just yet.
