Hey Scott,

I'm not interested in any of the remaining kit, but just wanted to say, good on you for gifting it to folks on here who might use it and please convey the thanks and sympathies of the NB community to your friend who is no longer able to make use of it.

If your friend refused money from you for the kit, I doubt they would be any more likely to accept money directly from internet randoms. And I am not surprised by this, as I know several folks who are either full or part time carers too and they are a remarkable and proud bunch of people, how would refuse money in similar circumstances.

However, I also know that there are several charitable organisations that support carers like your friend (some condition specific, other more general) which most of the carers I know are lees reluctant to accept help from, as they are not 'making a fuss' about just them, but about lots of folks in similar circumstances. So if you are aware of any particular charity supporting your friend, could I trouble you to post a link or just let me know, as I would like to return your friends generosity, show my support and make a donation.

Atb.

Colin

Thanks Colin but im not doing a lot just advertising and shipping out. He would have done it him self but he has no idea how to use a computer. He just wanted me to make sure it was anonymous and the kit found a good home.

Its funny you should say that because I did have that exact discussion with him and you right he wouldn't accept any donations. However he did say if anyone felt the need to donate (but don't feel you have to) any money he would like it to go to either their local scout group or local children's hospice as his daughter has unfortunately had to spend a lot of time in them in the past. He didn't have a particular one in mind as they are all doing a great job so just a local one.

I will be passing on everyone's thanks and appreciation.

Cheers Scott

Hey Scott, I'm sure the not a lot you are doing is appreciated by your friend.

Like I said I know a few folks who are carers myself and they are all remarkable people, generous with their time yet very humble about the time consuming commitment they are making. Not doing what they do for praise and not looking for arbitrary hand outs, just glad of any understanding and support afforded to them (albeit often with a touch of reluctance or curious (to everyone else) embarrassment). And when such people who have so little time for themselves, make time to do you a good turn and you ask how you can thank and repay them, the almost universal response seems be something along the lines of "No worries, happy to help, but if you want to do something, if you see an opportunity to help someone else, do it."

Remarkable people.

Anyway, I have side tracked this threads enough, I'll let you get back to the gifting and will show my support for your friends generosity as they suggest.

Good man

That is a remarkably kind gesture if only more people were like it this world be so so much better, Fi and I hunt down medicinal fungi and plants to give to people that are in need of some help with something other than conventional medicines, its the same with kit and clothes, if we don't use it we either give it away or swap. a swap shop would be a worthwhile addition to the site, We are also makers of insect and bug repellents which has a low as we can get profit margin, I have,nt forgotten yours Colin you will get one to try I promise.
