@rtwjunkie in for the Kreij Holiday 2015 PC:

I'm going to officially enter for my oldest son. He survives, and that is all, on a subsistence wage due to his circumstances. Due to being 3 months early 24 years ago, his development is not what it should have been mentally. He's a good man, but doomed to never being successful, though he tries. We thought his one chance at being good at something, and feeling a part of something, as well as having a strong group of people around him where he could learn a good skill and probably could be successful would be to join the military.

Sadly, he cannot even do that, failing the physical, due to a degenerative eye disease which is only cured by surgery, otherwise it will lead to blindness. He is too old for my vision insurance which could fix it, and it is not covered by health insurance. Because he works to survive, he has no ability to game like he sincerely enjoys doing. I got him a gaming laptop about 5 years ago, but it has since broken, and of course he cannot afford to get or build a PC.

I would love for him to be able to game again, and with his good character he would use the PC to crunch when not being used if I asked him, and because he would want to help others.

I'm Also In for the MSI Z97/Pentium G3258 mb/cpu combo donated by @RealNeil for my fiance, who wants desperately to build computers. that seems like the perfect equipment as a base to start her on that path!

What makes me happy anytime, but especially during the holidays are when I hear from my children who are adults, and when I am with my fiance, a woman for whom circumstances were not right and kept us apart for 20 years until we could be together. She is my rock!

Thank you to the wonderful community here at TPU! Thank you to everyone who has donated to this project and all the others who have given their support. This really is an excellent forum, because of the PEOPLE..

Very touching post @rtwjunkie, I can certainly see why @thebluebumblebee said what he said. :respect: :respect:

Honestly, it's getting difficult to read through some of these threads, this thread especially, without getting a little teary-eyed, in the best sense. :)

I got to tell ya @rtwjunkie , I actually took a couple of minutes to reread your entry...............Damn brother, it about brought tears to my eyes reading your story man!!!!!!! :oops:

Sounds like he really is an awesome person and deserves the very best that life can give but as all probably knows, it doesn't always happen as it should! I thought is was so awesome that @thebluebumblebee put his entry in for your son! I was going to edit my entry as well to do the exact same thing but reading your post after @thebluebumblebee I don't want to upset ya.........I will await the further development on this.

I agree. I have found I have been sincerely moved, both happily and sadly reading the entries. I honestly feel all the entries are moving, and thus why I said what I did above.

An amazing giveaway! Alas I live in Canada. It's never surprising to see the generosity of the TPU members, it's what makes this community truly great.

Christmas is my most favorite time of year, always have been. I have a very large family of aunts, uncles, cousins and 2nd cousins that all gather and have a great time together, it's all very loud but :D that's what makes it great. I hope you all find a little joy this time of year.

As for cancer, FUCK it. My aunt found out she has breast cancer in October, it was a shock to us all since it doesn't run in the family. Some good news is that it hasn't spread so hopefully it'll be crushed in time and forgotten so she can move on in life.

As the Vulcans say, live long and prosper.

Love and peace my brothers and sister. :):toast::lovetpu:

@Norton, what's up with shipping of items? Can we kick in a few bucks to the one overseeing everything, presumably yourself, to help defray the cost of shipping?

I've got the last leg of the shipping covered but a little help would be great/give my wallet a break :)

We may even be able to cover a larger area

Im in for the Holiday PC and gift 5 for myself. The Holiday PC would be for a co-worker named Nick that works his a$$ off for his family and unfortunately gets the bottom end of the deal. He works help desk in my department and then works at Best Buy. Always seems very interested when I talk to him about WCG and all of the tech that's out there but never has money for himself to play with.
