PROTECTING OUR OWN: 50 ITEMS / MODS GO UP FOR AUCTION TOMORROW

UPDATE: HELPAVAPER.COM IS BORN

....its the vaping community



The devastation

Zaichick and Smokeater



Simply.. 

I personally know these two people.  They have children -  6, 8, and 14 months.  They need our help.

Join the group below and get involved.  Due to the urgent nature  - this happens TOMORROW.  If your a reader - spread the word. If you have a message board, a blog, a youtube - link to this post.  If you cant donate or bid in the auction - donate a few minutes of your time - help spread the word.  Vapers from around the world are welcome to bid on items.


THE VERY HARD COPY:

We're pulling together as a community to help some of our own who have been affected by natural disaster. Avid vapers Zaichick and Smokeater, and their young family of three have been driven from their home by the staggering devastation that floodwater's have wreaked in southern Alberta, Canada. Insurance doesn't cover flood damage. In the best case scenario, they will be facing an expensive relocation and seeking new employment. Worst case scenario, they be starting over from zero.

You are invited to help via an auction that will be held on Sunday, June 23rd. Items include a Nova Hybrid (Unicorn!), brand new Chi-You, Nemesis (VaporWall edition - Another Unicorn!), Ba-Gua, Argus SS, coffin mods, and a cornucopia of other vape treasures. That's just the beginning. For more information, listings of auction items, and details about where and when, please join this Facebook group:

Donations are also welcome. Instructions will be available in the Facebook group.

Make a great addition to your vape collection, and better yet... give hope, encouragement and a new start to a young family who desperately need our help.


I am not personally involved in the auction or donations.  I am here as a friend and vaper - to help spread the word.


UPDATE: CLICK FOR THE LIST OF AUCTIONS

DONATIONS VIA PAYPAL CAN BE SENT DIRECTLY TO THEM:  zaichick@live.ca


WHERE: http://www.helpavaper.com


**In the future helpavaper.com will be used for other vapers in crisis

$3.00 : Fundraiser for baby Arianna

...its atomicvapors






I am not affiliated with the Charity, I thought it would be a good cause to bring to vapers attention.  This is Jeff's neice the owner of AtomicVapors.  If you could spread the word you can link to this post or whatever is easier for you.


Baby Arianna was diagnosed in her second trimester as having CDH (Congenital Diaphragmatic Hernia).
So what is CDH:

  • CDH is a hole in the diaphragm (the muscle under the lungs that is responsible for breathing) that allows organs from the abdomen to move into the chest
  • CDHs affect about 1 in every 2,500 babies 
  • CDH can often be diagnosed during a routine ultrasound. If it’s not diagnosed during pregnancy, it is usually diagnosed shortly after birth when a baby is having trouble breathing.
  • The outlook for babies born with CDH is increasingly positive with new surgical techniques and ways to support babies as they heal. However, it’s possible that your baby can have long-term problems and need regular follow-up care after going home from the hospital.

Ariannia will require an immediate surgery as soon as she is born to attempt to correct the problem.  
Eric & Ashley are the parents of Arianna. Eric currently serves with the United States Marines as a Marine Recruiter in the State of Pennsylvania.
Ashley is currently a counselor dealing with children diagnosed with Autism, ADD, ADHD, & Asperger's.


Sincerely,
Jeff

This one hits home. Arianna is my neice. We purchased pink bracelets to sell for $3.00. All the money will go to assist Ashley and Eric with doctors and hospital bills. For the last 60 days of Ashleys pregnancy she will have to live at the Ronald McDonald house in Philadelphia. It is estimated that Ashley & Eric will have over $25,000 in hospital bills and expenses.
