In February my daughter became gravely ill and she almost passed away. She was diagnosed with an extremely rare blood disorder - paroxysmal cold hemoglobinuria. The hospital was amazing and we can never repay them for their part in saving my daughter's life. I have received numerous donations from some amazing people in the cigar industry to help with an auction. The purpose of this auction is to raise money to help with the medical bills we incurred with all remaining donations going to The Children's Mercy Hospital in Kansas City. I have great insurance but we are faced with all deductibles up front and they do not pay 100% even after that is met. We are hoping to either give the hospital a check, buy a piece of equipment, or buy toys and things for the sick kids there.
This is how it works. For every $5 donated you will get 1 entry into a drawing on March 31st for the prizes that will be listed here. Donations can be made by Paypal or USPS money orders. Send me a PM for the paypal account or my address. This will be posted on Facebook as well.
There are more things to come! So far this is what has been physically received. I will post the others as they arrive. You will see multiple items listed in the pics but each drawing is for 1 prize unless noted. Thank you to:

PM your addy and who to make out the money order to.
Paypal doesn't like my credit card or my credit card doesn't like paypal, so I'll send a money order.

All PMs replied. I do not want to publicly post entries per person just so everyone feels comfortable. The small donations mean just as much as the large ones. I will be keeping an updated list of all donations on my end and will post all winners at the drawing time publicly.

Not sure if I mentioned this but everyone's name will be printed out for however many entries they have. All entries will be placed into a hat, jar, or bowl, and my daughter is going to draw the winners for each prize.
