Hello all!
I'm brokering care packages for our INGO brothers and sisters who are currently deployed overseas in the U.S. Military. This is similar to other projects like
Operation Military Pride, supporting deployed military members worldwide and
Veterans of Valor, but is specific to INGO.
Here is what I am doing:
I will accept donations of either money or goods, 100% of which will be used/sent to deployed INGO members or the units where they are assigned. In this way, we as a group can take care of our brothers and sisters.
The following criteria must be met:
- The sponsored soldier must be on current active duty deployment outside the United States and have an APO/FPO where they can receive care packages. (I'm really looking to sponsor the guys in the sand, who can't get to the local shopping plaza for supplies. You guys stationed in Dresden, Germany will just have to wait until the project is fully funded
. Of course, I'll help whoever I can if they need it.).
- The sponsored soldier must be either an INGO member or a direct relative of an INGO member (father, son, daughter, etc.)
INGO members may nominate people by sending me a PM.
If you are deployed and you would like Project INGOCare to sponsor you, please PM me and let me know what you need.
I know the general types of things you want/need, but specific requests will be much easier to accommodate.
We'll have a shipment going out to cox7215 and his cohort Terry Moore (you guys DO share this stuff, right? RIGHT?!?
) in the next day or so and hope to follow up with many more.
I do not know if this will be a successful endeavor, but I'm going to try my best. As I get further into this project, I may need some help from anyone that might like to volunteer. Also, if there are any accountants on here that can tell me if the IRS will get pissy about me accepting donations (and if so, what I need to do to make them happy), I'd appreciate it.
We're currently supporting the following INGO soldiers stationed overseas:
Cox7215 (Afghanistan)
Indecision (Afghanistan)
