Thread: -PLEASE help save a Life-

  1. #1

    -PLEASE help save a Life-

    So A friend of a friend is in need of our help, she is waiting for a kidney transplant, and will die without it. a local company has agreed to donate one dollar for each pop can tab collected, I know between all the beer drinkers and all the soda we all drink that we can make a difference for her.

    Everyone please start saving these tabs, they are small and this is easy, but it means the difference between life and death....
    I will collect all of the tabs at BB in a couple weeks

    This is a very easy way for us all to help, PLEASE HELP

    Thank you!!!

    Thank You Jenny!!!

    After we have a bunch collected, we can turn them in all at once as a CSC donation. As long as you guys are helping, I figured the club should get the credit, and who knows maybe we canl change the image of sportbikers in some minds...

    PLEASE everyone, there is no reason not to collect these...Let's drop a CSC bomb on these people and blow there minds, let's show them what big hearts we have!!!

    PLEASE POST AT LEAST A IF YOU'RE HELPING!!!

    I rarely think of motorcycles without a little yearning. They are about moving, and humans, I think, yearn to move – it’s in our cells, in our desires. We quiet our babies with cyclic movement, and we quiet ourselves by going.

    Who is the local company making the $1 donations?

    I don't drink much from cans, but will collect from anyone else I know.

    You can do this year round also. Each one of those tabs is worth an hour of kidney dialesis (sp?) for a child. My great-aunt has been collecting them for years. So far she has donated 9 gallons of tabs, yes 9 gallons.
    If God told me I was going to die riding a motorcycle, I'd still ride.
    If he told me I was going to die in my sleep, I'd become an insomniac.

    I put all my empty soda & beer cans into a garbage bag & recycle them at King Soopers (for a few cents on the lb.). I've got 1 full bag sitting in my garage, and another one starting to fill - I'll get the tabs off of them & start saving new ones for ya.

    Do they only take tabs, or do plastic bottle caps work too? I don't drink much pop, and what I do isn't from a can. And I sure as hell don't drink beer out of one...

    O.K people....This is not a scam. I am the freind of a friend that Greg was talking about that is helping this "little girl" with her misfortune. Her name is Danielle and she is 12 years old, her family has no insurance and as we all know dialosis is very expensive and hard to manage let alone the emotinal stress they must be experiencing. There is a center that is collecting the pop tabs, from any soda pop can or "beer" can this is an easy way to help someone in need, and for every pop tab that is collected goes tward the dialosis for this precious young girl and other children in need. PLEASE if you can help im sure it would be invaluable to this family and many others. The central drop off facility for the tabs is Wheat Ridge Internal Medicine Center @ 7821 W.38th Ave. Wheat Ridge Co, 80033 PH#303-422-2343 EX 103 ask for Amber or give your pop tab donations to Ripper and they will go where they need to go. This very simple task will have a huge impact on several lives and maybe someday we will need help as well and will hopefully get the same help in the same way. Thanks a million and im sure the familly of those in need thanks you as well.

    Well, shoot... I'll help you if I can guys, but the soda here at work is in bottle form as well so I dunno how many coworkers would have tabs. But I'll ask around.
