$5K GOAL MET! The TSgt Christopher Frost (Frosty) Fund--SEE PG 10 FOR PAYMENT DETAILS

[MarcInJapan]

Subject: TSgt Christopher Frost (FrostyEOD) Fund

For those that don’t know, one of our own United Stang’s Members, one of our own Airmen, one of our own Service men, one of our own fellow Americans was wounded in Iraq on 18 May 08. Here is the email I got from Chris (Frosty) on what happened that day (I made minor corrections so some our civilian members would understand the military terms):
“Chief,

I deployed to Iraq as the Team Leader for Weapons Intelligence Team One, tasked with performing post-blast investigation, forensic collection and intelligence ****ysis focusing on identifying, targeting and capturing the IED cells (bomb makers and emplacers as well as sources of supply and finance).

On 18 May 2008 We were approximately ten minutes away when we received word that another vehicle on the RCT had been struck by secondary IED, resulting in additional coalition casualties. We continued until we about 150 meters from the second vehicle that had been hit when the vehicle was riding in was hit by a very large buried IED. The blast lifted the vehicle up and it came to rest on its left side. Other elements in the patrol immediately began to provide first aid and called in a MEDEVAC. I was transported for life saving surgery. Eventually I was moved to Balad AB, then on to Landsthul Regional Medical Center, then finally on to Walter Reed Army Medical Center where I am now."



I'll write more later.

Chris Frost (FrostyEod)

/////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

Although I don’t know the full extent of his injuries, I do know that he lost his right leg below the knee and they are working on saving his left foot. He is in very good spirits even after talking to him this weekend and today on the phone. I even talked to his Mother as well. Both are great people—first impressions mean a lot to me.

Here is what I would like to do. As of right now, Chris doesn’t know what he needs. It is too early in the game to figure out what he will need in the future. All I know is that anything that the military won’t provide him costs money. I propose this:

US Members: Start a campaign of donations here on the site. I will keep a running tally for United Stangs right here in the forums. Since we won’t be sending any money right now, I am looking for commitments, meaning at the time we decide to send the money (or purchase something he needs), you pledge a certain amount of money. I will list up everyone’s donations right here. I don’t care if it is a $5 dollar donation, every little bit counts.

Other Websites: I know we have a lot of people on this site that own their own websites and have pledged to help out. I would like the owner of the site to run a similar campaign on their website (if you don’t mind)—or send your members this way if they would like to donate. The owner of each site will be the person that I contact with updates and the central collection point of funds on their site. Again, I suggest you only get commitments and list their donations on your board. And if you want, I can run your site’s “total tally” here on this board as well. Some of the sites that I know have already committed (in alphabetical order) and my “go-to” persons are listed along with their site. As you send me your running totals, I will update below on what the total contribution of your site is to date.

See list of sites that have committed to help out at the bottom of this post.

Again, if any of our members, Moderators, Administrators, or Owners of other sites would like to run this campaign on their site, please say-so. Give me your site’s name and I will use you as the “go-to” person. If any of you know people on other mustang or non-mustang websites that could run this same campaign on their site, please contact them and get me their information. I just need the website and a person of contact.

United Stangs Chapters: If any of the Chapters we have want to work something internally within their groups, they are welcomed to as well.

Sponsors: I am going to see if I can work with some of our sponsors and see if they can step up with “gift certificates or cash” to Chris for mustang parts. Again, any website owners, I suggest you do the same with your sponsors if you don’t mind. Again, right now, I am just looking for commitments. I will list their commitments in this thread as well. At the time we decide to send off the donation, I will get with the POC of each website to collect the money.

MySpace: Anyone with MySpace pages, if you wouldn't mind putting this story up, I would really appreciate it.

Banner: I want a banner made up so I can run it across my forums. I will make it available to anyone that wants to run it on their site as well. What I need is someone here to make it for me. Frosty put up some pictures in his gallery we can use.

Homepage Story: Brian is going to post up this campaign on United Stangs Homepage with a link to the story here. Anyone wanting to copy and paste anything in the campaign (or link) to their website are welcomed.

Again, I am just looking for commitments until we find out exactly what Chris needs. I will run a tally of funds donated here. I will also run other website tallies if they want me too. I will just need you to give me your screen name and your donation amount.

Additionally, for any donation over $50 (cash or gift certificates) from a US Sponsor, I will donate 1 month of advertising to their existing contract. This will also be part of my donation as well. You can “up” your donation anytime as well. Just let me or any of the moderators know what you would like to contribute and we will add your name to the list.

PLEASE DO NOT PAY PAL ME ANY MONEY. I will collect the funds later on.

Also, if you would like to send something to Chris (cards, etc), here is his address:

TSgt Christopher Frost
In care of Ward 57, Walter Reed Army Medical Center
6900 Georgia Ave NW
Washington DC, 20307

If you chose to visit Frosty at the hospital, here are the details:

(Big Building—Bldg 2 if he remembers right)

DSN: 312-662-9758


He said all visitors are welcomed.

Also, don’t be afraid to leave messages in his profile chat box as well.

That’s it for now people. I am kind of making this up as I go along so some things might change with this campaign, so bear with me. I appreciate any help you can offer.

[Macs01GT]

That is terrible news. I wish him a speedy recovery. I'll be making a contribution Marc. Lets say $25 for now.

[MarcInJapan]

Thank you so much. If you can tell me what your donation will be, I will add it to the total above so we can get a running total. :marc:

AGAIN, PLEASE DO NOT PAY PAL ME ANY MONEY. This is just a commitment for now. We will collect the funds later on.

[sdavis2702]

$50 for me Marc (not as my site just me). I am about to dedicate some hours now to getting all of this information set up on my site and any of my sites's external sites like MySpace. Since you don't mind, I will do some copy and paste work like you said.

I definately wish Chris the best of luck and I will do anything in my power to make this better for him and his family. Also, hats off to you Marc. It's obvious you're a military man because your initiative to hop on this just as you said you would is extremely impressive and worth mentioning.

I'll keep you updated on my progress.

We're here for you Chris!

[Bulldog Stang]

Put me down for $25 for now as well ... and I will get to work on the home page ...

[Adam91LX]

Hey guys.... Don't forget Chris's mother. She is away from home, and dealing with the stress of not being able to "fix" her little boy. Maybe we should see about getting her a gift card to a decent resturant. And maybe a little relaxation kit. (Bubble bath stuff.) Some things where she can relax and rest her heart a bit. Just a thought.


Marc count me in for 75 bucks.

[StangChick]

Good thinking Adam.


Updated list! :marc:

[MarcInJapan]

Thank you so much everyone! I can't believe this is only a day and a half and look how far we have went as a team. I still have to go out and check the other sites I got a hold of and see if they will participate as well. I appreciate your help so much. :marc:

It was either this or hookers and beer.... It wasn't really that hard of a decision. I just want to help the man out.

A few years ago I was at an Astros game and a bunch of soldiers from Ft. Hood were there. They had just came back from Iraq. I was drinking beer at a bar across the street after the game talking with 5 of them and I let them drink on my tab until closing time. That was about a 250 dollar bar tab that I gladly paid. They were just glad to be back stateside.

[Atomic Performance]

Hey guys, I am sorry to hear about that. Please count my company Atomic Performance in for $50. Thanks, Jeff

This is for a great cause. The chance to help out one of our own. I have a lot more sites to visit tonight to help get this word out for Frosty:awsome:

Look at the dates.

Is it a mistake or just a very strange occurance?

SSgt Christopher S. Frost was an Air Force public affairs photographer who was killed while working on a story about the Iraqi Air Force.

Weird was that I saw the chopper that he was flying in before the crash.

[MarcInJapan]

Chris,

Get your ass to bed...its got to be the wee early morning hours right now!

[jhennessy]

I just want to take a moment to sincerely thank everyone whom has eagerly participated in pledging a donation toward the FrostyEOD fund. I believe it is paramount to understand that these donations not only honor TSgt Chris Frost in his selfless service, dedication to patriotism, and willingness to characterize all that it means to serve as an American in the pursuit of Freedom, but that it also honors and recognizes Chris Frost as the admirable, upstanding and reputable person he is beyond the uniform.

As testament to the type of individual that he continues to be to this day, he volunteered for this most recent deployment to the sandbox with the view point that he is unmarried, without any children and, therefore, the ideal candidate for the mission – despite having just returned from a previous all expense paid trip to the region only months prior.

He is always willing and eager to extend his hand in friendship and quick to offer aid to others in need, regardless of whether he knows them personally or not; my friendship with Chris is defined by this very notion which is precisely why I originally brought his current situation to the forefront of the UnitedStangs membership and audience. While I suspected UnitedStangs would gladly offer support for Chris, I honestly had no expectation that the support would go so far and be so very widespread – for this I again thank you all for the kind words directed at Chris and incredibly generous donations to the FrostyEOD fund!!

James

Marc, this is the last time I'll have net for a while. I should have net access again after the 20th of June.

I'd like to put up 100 bucks, but if this kicks off before I'm back on line (before I complete the PCS) please PM me so at least I'll have the notification without having to search for this thread.

Wow! Thank you guys. You guys are awesome. :applause::applause: I appreciate this so much!

[MarcInJapan]

I just want to take a moment to sincerely thank everyone whom has eagerly participated in pledging a donation toward the FrostyEOD fund. I believe it is paramount to understand that these donations not only honor TSgt Chris Frost in his selfless service, dedication to patriotism, and willingness to characterize all that it means to serve as an American in the pursuit of Freedom, but that it also honors and recognizes Chris Frost as the admirable, upstanding and reputable person he is beyond the uniform.

As testament to the type of individual that he continues to be to this day, he volunteered for this most recent deployment to the sandbox with the view point that he is unmarried, without any children and, therefore, the ideal candidate for the mission – despite having just returned from a previous all expense paid trip to the region only months prior.

He is always willing and eager to extend his hand in friendship and quick to offer aid to others in need, regardless of whether he knows them personally or not; my friendship with Chris is defined by this very notion which is precisely why I originally brought his current situation to the forefront of the UnitedStangs membership and audience. While I suspected UnitedStangs would gladly offer support for Chris, I honestly had no expectation that the support would go so far and be so very widespread – for this I again thank you all for the kind words directed at Chris and incredibly generous donations to the FrostyEOD fund!!

James

James,

My pleasure. I knew this was going to take some planning and a lot of work, but I knew we had some very good people here that could help me out. United Stangs is by far one of the best mustang communities out there. This is not only because I own US, I knew this from Day 1 when I signed on. The family here is exactly that, "a family". We take care of each other.

I am honored to help out Chris Frost. :marcus:

Not very good. I wouldn't expect to see him online much in the next day or two. I talked to him right after he got out of surgery and was in a lot of pain barely able to talk. He has 2 more surgeries this week if I remember right.

Best wishes Chris!

I am going to get a 25 dollar gift card to Ruby Tuesdays and send 15 bucks for a cab fare to Chris on saturday for his mother to go and have a decent meal.

Chris if you see this tell your mom to enjoy. I am sure she needs a good meal cause we all know hospital food is not the greatest.

[thestereogod]

Just talked to my neighbor who is a nurse at Walter Reed, and he called down to check on his status for us. He just came out of the OR, and he said he would try to keep me updated on his status. Also I sent down 4 boxes of car magazines for him, and my friend is going to find out if he needs anything else!

Very nice of you Adam. I am sure they will enjoy that.

Ok Everyone, Dave88LX a long time friend of mine has stepped up to the plate on the Corral and the donations are coming in from them. The Corral is known for helping their own, a great site. Thanks Dave!

If any of you can spread the word on other sites, I would appreciate it. Anyone know anyone up in the chain of Command on SVTP? That would be another good site for this to run as they are big like the Corral.

[MarcInJapan]

The Corral is stepping up. $165 in less than a day.

Come on US! Lets keep the donations coming. I know all of us don't have a lot of money, but this is for a good cause. Even if it is only $5! Just don't get a hamburger and soda at lunch one day, brown bag it. Come on...lets keep the donations coming!

You guys are great! :marc: :applause:

Wow guys.... I am impressed. There are people who still care out there after all. Makes my ****ty day seem pretty good after all.

[Adam91LX]

Just a thought guys.... Some may feel ashamed or bad if they can not give a large amount to Chris and so you don't .... DO NOT FEEL BAD!!!!! If all you can do is give 5 dollars or even just one dollar do it. Every cent will make his life a bit easier. Or if you still don't want others to judge ya just PM Marc.

[mike05gt]

This is how I see it, if every member from US and LSS gave 1.00 we could raise 8000.00 just between the two sites. It does not take much effort to do wonders.

This is so freaking AWESOME it is unreal !!!! I am in shock at the donations that I have seen in the last 48 hours.

Seeing something like this makes me PROUD to be an American. Even though I was unable to serve my country due to being partially blind in my right eye because of being stabbed, I did the next best thing by serving my community and serving as a Texas Peace Officer.

I am glad that the US Family has the camaraderie that the Military and Law Enforcement have.

I applaud you all for what you are doing for Chris. :applause: :applause: :applause:

Not yet. This probably won't happen for weeks. This is a long term collection, not a short term.

[MyPonyRocks]

Marc, ColoradoStangs has 50 bucks and 3 who are waiting until it's time to send the money to commit to an ammount.

[MarcInJapan]

Right now, we are on hold for sending any funds. I will let you know at a late date. Thanks for all the donations.

[MarcInJapan]

Everyone, I got some news that just makes my blood BOIL! It looks like the Frosty Fund has received so much attention that now some people are trying to scam folks out of money using Frosty's name in vain. They are having people Pay Pal money to fake accounts in his name.

As I have always said, PLEASE DO NOT SEND ANY MONEY AT THIS TIME. Only send money when either myself or your site coordinator gives you a good Pal Pal account. This is why I have only asked for pledges.

If you see this post on any other forums or you are a site coordinator, please make sure your kind personnel are NOT sending money to anyone they do not know. Not one penny will be sent until Chris figures out what he needs.

This is the real deal. I talked to Frosty and his Mother today. I verified he is indeed in Walter Reed. I cross-referenced his phone number with Walter Reed and their customer support desk. He is indeed in the hospital. If you would like to call and chat with him just to give your support, his number is:

Commercial: 202-782-9758
DSN: 312-662-9758


Also, there was a question of was it a violation to collect funds for a hurt soldier and the amount. I have never heard of this but I will verify it. I think the maximum amount per injured soldier is $335 per person and no one has came close to that.

Furthermore, there was some concern about the location of the events. We don't want any possible sensitive information getting out, so to air on caution, if you see or or have posted this campaign on any site, please replace his email in quotes with this:

“Chief,

I deployed to Iraq as the Team Leader for Weapons Intelligence Team One, tasked with performing post-blast investigation, forensic collection and intelligence analysis focusing on identifying, targeting and capturing the IED cells (bomb makers and emplacers as well as sources of supply and finance).

"On 18 May 2008 We were approximately ten minutes away when we received word that another vehicle on the RCT had been struck by secondary IED. We continued until we about 150 meters from the second vehicle that had been hit when the vehicle was riding in was hit by a very large buried IED. The blast lifted the vehicle up and it came to rest on its left side. Other elements in the patrol immediately began to provide first aid and called in a MEDEVAC. I was transported for life saving surgery. Eventually I was moved to Balad AB, then on to Landsthul Regional Medical Center, then finally on to Walter Reed Army Medical Center where I am now."

Thank you everyone for your continued support and please don't let these scammers taint this campaign.

Everyone, please feel free to copy and paste this message across all the websites hosting this campaign.

[Dave88LX]

Oh...I went to go edit my post and saw it already said that...I was like WTF? Then I noticed you'd already edited it. ;)

I find it absolutely disgusting and appalling that someone would take advantage of the situation like this. I put the actions of these individuals right down there at or below the level of a terrorist, to take advantage of the situation of a military member like this. Absolutely disgusts me.

On the bright side, we're up to $425 now at the Corral. ;)



If anybody comes across this type of post at any sites, and you do not see it listed as one of the site's that Marc is tracking, please bring it to is attention. This may potentially help locate some of the fraudulent scams going around...

[MarcInJapan]

Thank you Dave and you beat me to the punch about notifying me if they see some other site doing this.

[Bulldog Stang]

So who was doing the Fraudulent Scams ???

I say we hunt them down and well ... Anyone remember what happened to the scammer caught on SVTP a while back ??? :evil: We should do the same to the one who did this to Chris ....

I don't know who. I google Frosty's name and didn't find anything on the net.

GRR, but it doesn't surprise me a bit.

Marc, the money thing isn't an issue if we give everything to his Mom. I allready checked legal before I out processed. The total ammount of "Gift" is indeed 300ish per person and no more than (I think it was 500 from a buisiness), but if we give the total to his Mom then we bypass it because monetary gifts from family are exempt.

With the new room is a new phone # everything same but last 4 is now 9758

commercial 202-782-9758
DSN 312-662-9758

private room, which sucks because I was in room with my buddy I got blown up with, but the provate room is necessary because I picked up C Diff in the hospital, a contagious bacteria that causes diaorrea.

Other then that I had a fantastic day, got lots of needed rest and taloked with AdamGT, a very good guy and extremely empathetic to my plight. Adam, thanks again, call anytime.

Next surgery is skin graft on my left foot next tuesday, then the week after that on wednesday for a different frame to hold my leg together that will let me put weight on it.

So next few weeks looks positive.

Thanks to all at US who habe posted, called or im'd me, it has really helped me keep a great attitude in a difficult circumstance.

Went back to WRAMC to visit Chris today. My wife and our 16 year old son Skip tagged along. Chris and he talked and they hit it off well. During our visit Maj. Gen. Eulberg looked in on Chris and gave him one of his coins. My son was so impressed with Chris and how well he's doing. On the way home I asked what he thought about the visit. I was thinking to myself, man, he got to meet a general how cool is that? He told me "Dad, I've met generals before but I really like Chris, he has such a positive outlook!"

BTW folks, before you go to visit, call Chris to see what he wants to eat. He's on an anything goes diet.

Still below 15 posts, so pics are in my photo album.

[Dave88LX]

Marc, have fun in the Phillipines. I'll keep you posted on the Corral.net total.


Joey, was nice seeing you again for the first time in 4 years. You look great bro!

To be honest with you, I was a bit apprehensive, maybe nervous about going down to Walter Reed to meet him. I had never been there, been around that situation, and quite frankly didn't really know what to expect. Not to say that I didn't WANT to meet him, but I just didn't know anything about anything. I had seen the guys on here say "Oh, he was in great spirits etc. etc." and I had kind of figured they were just saying that because of the situation he was in, to make it sound better.

But god damn, let me tell you, if Chris ain't the most chipper sonofabitch around these parts, then I'm a virgin! :lol: I was totally impressed by what a great mood he was in, no awkwardness at all, never felt weird (I'm saying this because if that's something that's keeping you from visiting, don't let it at all!). Just a great time all-around. The guy couldn't be in a better mood about what's going on. He's got some great stories too.

It was a very rewarding trip, thanks for calling me and letting me know you where heading down, Joey! He's not too far from where I work, so I'll be visiting more often.

I met his mother there too, a very sweet lady she is. She brought him back an Air Force flag, so I helped hang that up on the wall, class the place up a bit. ;)

The "hotties" call was a Classic! :lol: "Uh, yes. I'm below my Recommended Daily Allowance for hotties. I need you to send some down right away. I'm in the Air Force, in an Army hospital and this just isn't cutting it. Send hotties!" :lol: I'll be damned if 2 lookers walked right in after that.

Oh, and don't let the bastard get you with his little "oh, I lost my leg in Iraq, eat a Taco" or "eat a mint" sob story either. ;)

It was an honor to meet you today Chris! I'll be back in touch with you.

I had seen the guys on here say "Oh, he was in great spirits etc. etc." and I had kind of figured they were just saying that because of the situation he was in, to make it sound better.

But god damn, let me tell you, if Chris ain't the most chipper sonofabitch around these parts, then I'm a virgin! :lol: I was totally impressed by what a great mood he was in, no awkwardness at all, never felt weird (I'm saying this because if that's something that's keeping you from visiting, don't let it at all!). Just a great time all-around. The guy couldn't be in a better mood about what's going on. He's got some great stories too.

It was a very rewarding trip, thanks for calling me and letting me know you where heading down, Joey! He's not too far from where I work, so I'll be visiting more often.

I met his mother there too, a very sweet lady she is. She brought him back an Air Force flag, so I helped hang that up on the wall, class the place up a bit. ;)

The "hotties" call was a Classic! :lol: "Uh, yes. I'm below my Recommended Daily Allowance for hotties. I need you to send some down right away. I'm in the Air Force, in an Army hospital and this just isn't cutting it. Send hotties!" :lol: I'll be damned if 2 lookers walked right in after that.

Oh, and don't let the bastard get you with his little "oh, I lost my leg in Iraq, eat a Taco" or "eat a mint" sob story either. ;)

It was an honor to meet you today Chris! I'll be back in touch with you.

- Dave


LMAO!!!!!! yeah he was a trip!! I was glad to see him also, I'm not much of a hospital person and i didn't know what to expect at all when I got there, and i was pleasently surprised to see him as happy as he was. The next time I go down I hope Chris can get out of the hospital for alittle while, we can go to a bar and get a beer, and some hotties. lol!!!!

Dave, it was great seeing you again too man, you live a hell of alot close now, and I still never get to hang out with you. lol!

[MarcInJapan]

Man, thank you guys so much for taking the time and going to see Chris. I wish I was in the area as you know I would make the trip. I will have to settle for phone calls and emails.

Update: We are just $50 short of our goal! We are at $4950.00. Keep the donations coming. Every little bit helps. Once we hit the $5000 mark, I will post up Pay Pal and a address to send checks for those that don't use Pay Pal.

[MarcInJapan]

WE MET THE GOAL OF $5K!!!!

All of you that donated, individuals and sites, God Bless you all!

United Stangs Members: I would ask that you PM me on this site when you have made your have either 1) Made your Pay Pal Payment or 2) Sent your check/money order in the mail. I will check off your name up top as paid in full. You can also annotate in this thread as payment sent.

Frosty has said he will use the money to convert his mustang to a automatic (barring any unforeseen expenses that might come his way between now and then). Either way, the funds will be put to a good use for his needs.

I want to personally thank each and everyone one of you for your donations. I want to thank the other Mustang Websites that contributed. I want to thank the owners of these sites for letting me put this on their site.

God Bless you all for your donations! I am a firm believer in Karma. What goes around comes around!

My wife gets Paid on Friday. I will Paypal my donation as well.

Damn I am so happy that this worked for Chris. It goes to show how tight the Mustang Community really is, even if we do agree to disagree on issues every now and again ....

Exactly. And I ran across a couple of things when posting on other sites, but I worked it out in the end. I told them it wasn't about me, them, but about doing what was right and to keep the focus on our goal here. :marc:

[SVT Rob]

I get paid Friday, and I will send mine via paypal at that time. This is awesome, we reached that 5k mark quickly.

[gnats02]

I will deliver mine personally :snicker:

Thanks guys. It is amazing how the mustang community came together. Involved a lot of coordination between mustang sites and constant updates, but it worked out in the end and a lot faster than I believed too! :marc: :elvie: :awsome:

Just so you guys know, we (the ET chapter) will be having a fund raiser for this in the very near future which is why a lot of us haven't pledged yet. We are working out the details now and will let you all know what we will be doing. We have several ideas we are working on. It is awesome to see how so many people have come together for this! And over 5K already! Good job US! :applause: :applause: :marcus:

Thats great. It might take a couple of weeks to receive it all. Some people just don't visit the forums every day and others were basing their donations on future pay days.

Glad it is all coming in slowly...I have no doubt you will receive all the $5K. :elvie::elvie::elvie::elvie:

Just get well!

I don't have the words to express my true thanks to you for everything you have done for me. This has been an amazing thing you started, and it means so much to me that our friendship was so strong even with me deployed 90 percent of the time I've known you.

Give my best wishes to the family,

no need in thanking me, brother! all I did was bring your situation to the attention of the US community and Marc took over from there. just know that you have earned every positive thing that comes along your way and I look forward to hearing about your first ride in your Mustang when all is said and done!

[MarcInJapan]

Members, let me just give you a few milestones that have happened with this start of this fund:

1) 25+ sites are involved in this fund
2) US Members have donated $1570 to Frosty. I didn't include the members that own their own sites (and members here as well) in US's totals. I gave their site the credit. I included their donations with thier site's totals.
3) Other sites added together have donated $4860
4) Sponsors have donated $200

GRAND TOTAL AS OF TODAY: $6630

This is absolutely amazing. I want to thank the few people that have actually helped me out on other sites with the tracking.

I want to thank the owners of these sites for allowing me to run this campaign on their sites.

A few things about a couple of sites that are interesting:

1) The Corral and SVTP have really stepped up with their donations. Some individuals of their sites that are not even members of US have donated $100 a piece :applause:

2) MilitaryPerformance.com: A small site (although its growing) compared to most of the ones that have donated, donated $500. :applause:

3) VetteTerminator had the single largest donation of $325! :marc: :applause: He pledged this on LSS. He is now a member of US under the same screen name.

Everyone has been awesome. I have one favor to ask. I have been asking everyone that pledged their money on other sites to please send off their donation ASAP.

I want US to lead by example. Hard for me to ask that of other sites and we still haven't sent out all our donations. I ask that if you pledged some money, please get it out as soon as you can get the funds gathered. Sent out means you either hit "send" on Pay Pal or you dropped the check/money order in the mail.

Again, thank you for all that you have done! :marc: :awsome: :applause: :elvie:

Again, Thanks everyone! I will send out reminder PMs to those that haven't sent in their pledges. I know how we all get busy and how it can slip the mind sometimes. Keep the donations coming.

Just because you haven't pledged any money, don't mean you can't step up and donate. The pay pal address and physical address is on page 10 off this thread. Every little bit helps. One less trip to McDonalds, one less six-pack, one less pack of smokes...please help out Frosty. :marc:

[MarcInJapan]

I am sending this out via PM to members on other sites as well as this site reminding people of their pledges. Feel free to copy and paste this on other sites you might have gotten contributions on:
Hello Everyone,

If you don't know already, I am Marc and the one running the Frosty Campaign from UnitedStangs.com. I keep track of all the totals.

I am sending out a reminder PM to everyone that has pledged on the different sites. I know that we all get busy sometimes and forget to come to the forums every day or if we do, we miss a thread we posted in. I am hoping that by sending out a PM to you to remind you about your pledge, that we get Frosty's donations to him. He told me he has received $4K of the $6K promised.

Also, I know some of you are probably basing your donations on a future pay day. Understand.

The Pay Pal address is:

shirleyannrb@gmail.com

The address is in Frosty's Mother's name for easy access.

If you want to send funds via personal check, cashier's check, or money order, here is the address:

Checks in his Mother's name: Shirley Burwick

Mail checks or money orders to:

TSgt Christopher Frost
Ward 57 WRAMC
6900 Georgia Ave NW
Washington DC 20307

You are considered "Paid In Full" once you hit "send" on your Pay Pal or you drop the check/money order in the mail.

Please post in the thread and send me a PM when you are paid in full. I want to check off this site as "paid in full"

Again, thank you for your contributions.

Marc
