Donation total: 550.00!
JT Martin here with Ridley's Radical Royals
I'm bringing back something I used to do, and I'm hoping y'all will consider participating.
Years ago, before the passing of my dear friend Jason (JDLM), he, myself, and others who rotated year over year used to adopt one or two families. Friends and family would pour in the donations, and we made sure 100% of the money went directly towards gifts, clothes, food, and their bills. Any extra cash went into an envelope and was given straight to the family.
I miss Jason, and I miss doing this. So, I’m bringing it back as the Drunk Panda Family Adoption in his honor.
We, as an awesome collective of reptile people, take care of one another. This is not bs; nothing goes into our pockets.
I have one family in STL picked out and have a friend there who will help with the shopping and drop-off. I also have one family in Kansas City selected.
I'm not setting a specific goal. I am personally seeding $100.00 into the pot this coming Friday. We plan to shop and deliver on the 21th of December.
🎁 Who wants in?
Please send donations by Thursday, December 18th, so we have time to shop before delivery weekend.
Donations can be sent to either of the options below. Please put "Drunk Panda Family Adoption" as the note/reason for your donation:
Cashapp: $jtmartin385
Venmo: Joseph-martin-888
Jason Bigler, Kimberly Ann 'Peoples' Mann, and Manny Shaffie have jumped on board to help coordinate locally. Amy Magee Martin will be coordinating in STL and can share a little about that family's needs for transparency.
Happy holidays from the Martins to y'all. Now let's bless some good people! Please share this post to help us reach more kind hearts.
(We plan to share a post-delivery update and pictures (respecting the families’ privacy) to show where your generosity went!)
