Relief Efforts for Bruce Whitehead

[frankykeno]

I am a little new to this site, but I have known a few here for years.

I am so glad some one could set up a relief fund, and a "goods" colllection.

I will be sending some funds asap, and anything I have, or can think to pick up.

I see mention of Clothing sizes, and a list of other things needed,
and lists of places we can get gift cards from.

I was unaware wally world (wal-mart), Lowes, and Home Depot were in Canada as well.

Thank you for letting us all know :o)

I am known "elsewhere" as Marg , so If you have an add friendship request, please know that it is me - lol

Thanks

Marg

Great to see you here Marg! I remember you from another site.

IMPORTANT!

If you're buying gift cards from places like Walmart or Home Depot be sure to ask if they are useable in Canada. In most cases the gift cards purchased on one side of the border ARE NOT useable on the other side for whatever reason. I know this has been the case in the past but may not be now. Best to ask and know FOR SURE.

I'll see if I can get an answer from the Walmarts and Home Depots and such up here but it's always good to double check.

You'd think they would be useable but it's usually because American stores operating in Canada are quite separate from their American counterparts. I know this is the case with Best Buy. They're accountable to the same shareholders (ie: making the same people rich) but both sides of the border have independent Presidents and are run completely separately (and even have different business models).

Cheers.

I've already checked into the WalMart thing and I do have a phone number direct to the lady in charge of gift cards at the Canadian corporate offices of WalMart Canada (helps when hubby works for WalMart doesn't it LOL). Anyways, I have her name, her number and the procedure needed to send a Canadian WalMart gift card to Bruce and Jerome.
