Pay it Forward Holidays 2010: Thanks Samurai60, Ethan and Kieren!
To the Take5 Community,
I have been a long time member of the Take5 community but have not been very active in the last year as my kids have grown and moved on to other interests but I still come to the site a few times a week to see what is new. For those of you that know, our family has always tried to help those in need through what we have called the “Pay It Forward” program through Take5. We give out Cars to those that need a hand in difficult times and ask that when things get better, to lend a hand to someone else that needs it.
If you and your family or someone you know has had some difficult times this year and might need a hand with Christmas gifts this year, send me an email giving a brief outline of the situation. I know this is not comfortable but my sons and I have found this is the only way in which to determine who we give the package of Cars to for Christmas. The only other catch besides “paying if forward” is if you could, send me a couple of photos of your son or daughter opening the box on Christmas day. I have included my three favorite genres of Cars in this years box, Piston Cup racers, hauler and of course, the Tokyo Mater series. An additional thanks goes out to long time member Mariela for donating the puzzles, Wally hauler and some Cars.
Please send your emails to dkyoshida@yahoo.com by Wednesday, December 8th at 9:00pm EST. Only the winner will be contacted.
Merry Christmas to all!

Thanks Samurai60, Ethan and Kieren!
Paid it Forward tonight…..
First paycheck in 19 months!!!!!
For the church helping us last summer, I gave them a 73.26 gift card that Kmart sent me when I ordered some new P.V. Haulers and launchers that came in wrong, they sent me a gift card and thought someone in our area who is still unemployed could use it and 30.00 towards those in my area having job problems who have critters that might not get fed.
