A Worthy Cause
I think most of you have heard through news/social media of the letter the Oakland Athletics received from a young fan who's home and card collection was destroyed by the recent fires in California. To recap: A 9 year old fan sent a hand written letter to the Oakland Athletics telling them his/her card and memorabilia collection was burned along with his/her home. In return, the A's and their players have made strides to give this kid some stuff to help out. This is great but it saddens me that there are probably thousands of kids who have the same story who won't get the same treatment because they don't even have the paper, pencil or stamp left to write their own letter and if they did, would probably more likely send letters to family to let them know they survived the fires. Anyway, I saw an address posted on facebook that you can send cards to to help this kid. I am sending a box of A's cards and probably some other stuff to the address. I hope they help the kid but I will include a short letter asking them to think about figuring out a way to help more than just that one kid. Here is the address if you are feeling generous and wish to donate:
