Here's a great story for all but obviously the local angle helps it hit home that much more. The Chive (the place where Tony gets many of his lady pictures that he posts) decided to help out a Royal Oak family in need. When the loyal Chivers & Chivettes (devotees of the The Chive) decided it wasn't enough, well things, in the words of Ron Burgandy escalated quickly, they jumped up notch.

Well done! A great story.Comment

Great Story. I think an addition is silly. They won't have a yard and have I'd be willing to bet they can get a pretty nice sized house for $150,000.GO LIONS "24" !!Comment

With 150K they can go up.
......but I agree, they can get a bigger ranch right now for 150K and do a short sell.I long for a Lions team that is consistently competitive.Comment

Remember, they only asked for 30 K t do the addition. They weren't asking for a house. Depending on how the donations are set up, i.e. what they can and can't be used for, I'm sure this family is going to have plenty of other bills associated with their special needs child. The 150 can at least accelerate the build process. Another thought on a new house might mean that a 150K house could be much higher taxes.Originally posted by DanO View Post
Plus that's 150K pledged, it hasn't been collected yet.Benny Blades~"If you break down this team man for man, we have talent to compare with any team."Comment

As far as I know, those are actual donations. When you donate you submit via credit card or bank account.Comment

An unbelievable Griffin Stein update

Yesterday before Heston put his kids to bed, he left the above message on the family’s GoFundMe page. I think that about sums it up.
What began as a campaign to raise $30,000 for a small home addition for a sick child turned into wholesale clinic in internet fundraising. There isn’t an online community in the world that can accomplish what you have, Chivers. Heston texted me yesterday afternoon toward the beginning of the launch:
“John, the Chivers raised $30,000 in 20 minutes! Something strange is happening. It seems like the donations are actually coming in faster since they hit the goal??? What’s happening?!!!”
I replied, “Yeah the Chivers really shine AFTER the goal is hit. That’s their wheelhouse. They haven’t had a chance to destroy a goal lately. Brace yourself, it’s going to get crazy.”
And it did. The Chivers broke the $100,000 barrier in just a few hours. The total now is about to eclipse $140,000 with not signs of stopping. You really have changed a family and a child’s life forever and solidified your place as the most caring group of misfits the internet has ever seen. Well done.
KCCO,
John n’ Leo

It’s a cold, dark world, but people still take your hand and help you cross the street. I don’t know, I just think that’s kind of beautiful.
