6|5|i will do that. thanks|bubbag1|bandy3303@yahoo.com|00:29:27|05/03/2008|here is the deal without getting to personal: the girls mom went to prison and their guardian wants to be rid of them. there are usually 6 of them in her household and adding 3 more girls on top of that is really straining their budget. she is trying to get money together to buy personal items including: tampons, brushes, toothbrushes, deodorant, hair items, shampoo, pads, etc. they were told they will not get state assistance as she is not family and will not get food stamps for them until june. this is rough on her but she cant let them be on the streets. all of her children are grown and she now has grandchildren and is on a limited income as she is disabled. im not quite sure how to start this out but will use any advice that we can get. i want this auction to end next week on friday the 9th at 8:00pm. whoever is the last to bid on this auction at that time will be the winner. all other items will be sent to me in des moines at 50317 zip code(to estimate shipping cost for everyone). is shipping for add-ins the responsiblity of the person adding in? anyways standard rules apply as most of you are not new to this and i want this to go as smoothly as possible. anything else i havent addressed, please get ahold of me and i will edit this post.
i will start this auction out with:
* 200 coupon potluck
*10-3pt coke codes
*2 sheets of speedracer stickers
*misc samples
1|1|What state is your aunt in? I can find some resources for her. Also, since the guardian is going to be rid of them, is your Aunt going to have "official" custody of the girls?|Ranalt|ainebailey@gmail.com|15:17:13|05/01/2008|
Not trying to be nosy, but the info helps when I find resources for your Aunt and the girls.
Also, you might want to check the Stockpiles here. People sell HBA's for good prices.
Thanks,
