    Jake, if they do show up.... you just keep them for yourself! I am certain that no one would mind that. No one has participated here in order to 'win' a prize, but rather to support a brother in need. Maybe whoever was sending them knew your contest deadline and delayed it so that you would just get them! :) P.S. I AM SERIOUS...KEEP THEM!

    I appreciate that but part of all of this was to say thanks and give something back for all of your support. Trust me when I say guys have bombed the crap out of me and I am not short of cigars at all. I really wish I could send every single person who donated, said a prayer, or just reached out with friendship a box of cigars. I can never put my gratitude in words. My daughter is doing great and that is all that really matters to me. Tonight we took her to Disney on Ice for Girl Scouts night and we made some memories. Every moment like this means so much more to me now. I am blessed to still have her and for all the amazing friends I have.

    Beautiful sentiment, Jake. That is what it's all about. Nothing more important than family and friends, and we are all blessed to be able to support you and yours. Enjoy all those precious moments with your wife and your kids.

    I agree 100%. This is not about the cigars, it is about helping out a brother and his family. Thrilled to hear the great progress she has made, and hope we helped contribute to your goals. If anyone complains about the 2 boxes not showing up, just let us know. I am sure we can get together and compensate them.

    I was going to have my daughter draw names on vherf tonight but I am headed out the door for work. I have the names together and ready for her to draw. She will draw names tonight still and tape a name on each prize. I will post a list of the winners tomorrow afternoon. Thank you everyone for your support. I will post how many entries we had as well.
  • jsnakejsnake Everyone, Registered Users Posts: 5,037
    Ok everyone the drawing has been done and the winners of all prizes are posted below. I tried to use forum names but I just turned 40 and am getting confused in my old age. Should you like to do something with your prize let me know. A few guys mentioned sending something they won to someone else. If you see your name listed please PM me. I will try to have all packages out by the end of the week with DC#.

    There was supposed to be 2 more boxes arriving and they never did. Should they arrive my daughter drew 2 extra names and they will be posted if the items are received.

    We did not reach our goal but we did very well with 270 entries. We will be able to make a toy donation to the kids at the hospital and hopefully bring a moment of happiness to some sick kids. I wish I had something for everyone of you. My family cannot thank you all enough for the support, thoughts, prayers, and donations. My daughter is doing well and with warmer weather here we should have no worries. She goes back for more testing in April and hopefully some of the unknown can be answered. Thank you all so much!!!!

    I might suggest if you've won... Offer to paypal shipping costs... This could easily be over $100 worth of shipping there...

    I have to find a few more boxes to mail out the last few things. I have listed the tracking numbers of the packages mailed out and the delivery status of the others. The ones with no status will have tracking numbers ASAP. If you receive cigars please let them rest a little while. They have done much traveling.

    Daughter goes back in for more tests on Wednesday so if you can keep her in your thoughts and prayers I would appreciate it. She is doing very well right now so looking for some positive news.

    Jake, they arrived today. Thank you very much. I'll be sending a thank you package in the next couple weeks. I should had just had you open it and take and take a hand full before you sent them

    Wait, so who won his daughter?
  • ejgormanejgorman Everyone, Registered Users Posts: 891
    Received today! Many thanks Jake! And, most importantly, thanks for letting us all be a part of this!
  • jsnakejsnake Everyone, Registered Users Posts: 5,037
    My daughter had more tests today and her blood work was all at normal levels. Since they ruled out all sorts of viruses being the actual cause they are going to run some genetic tests in July. They have to wait until her body has replaced all the donor blood she received which they said takes about 3 months. I initially thought they discovered the virus that caused this but I misunderstood. They just identified a virus she was sick with after the fact but did not lead to this blood disorder. She is doing well and we thank you for the ongoing support and prayers.

    Encouraging update, Jake. We'll keep praying for definitive answers and a complete resolution. So glad she's feeling better!
