One new tool AA please
Paid

I just saw this thread, so I haven’t donated or bought anything yet. But, I do have an opinion (surprise! surprise! :stuck_out_tongue: ) about where to best put the money. I don’t trust Wal-Mart, whatever they say. I know that Franklin Graham’s organization Samaritan’s Purse has feet on the ground and is helping real people. I’d vote to give the money to them. They know how to do the “real” disaster relief/aid work. I’d be afraid Wal-Mart might filter the donations through some “Foundation” which would reduce the effectiveness of the funds.

OK, I’ll take it and swap emitters if still available.

BTW, when sending funds should we use ‘For goods’ or what?

My 2¢ (preference) on where the money goes: something local, volunteer driven, with immediate impact.

Ultimately, it’s up to DB Custom to choose what he feels is the best option. I’m good with whatever is chosen.

Just saw this thread, too, and have the same misgivings. Lots of “charities” sprouting up with hands out looking for donations, and who knows how much actually gets to those who need it. Really need someone local who knows who’s doing the most good.

Ummm, no paypal here, any other way to do it? Plastic? Money-order? Etc.?

I imagine you could PM, get an address and send a check if all else fails.

Yes, local is usually best. But, I’d want to know that the “local” group was well organized, and had a good (effective) use for the money. One of the benefits of long established relief/aid organizations is that they already know what they’re doing, what kind of help is needed the most, what logistics work best for distributing the aid, etc.

As you said, it’s up to DB Custom. I’ll trust him to make the best decision. :innocent:

Thanks for doing this.

A suggestion… You might want to change the wording to say the proceeds will be sent to aid the victims. I thought that people were buying lights to be sent to Houston.

“Lumintop has very graciously donated a very nice assortment of lights that you can buy at a very reduced price which will then be sent to aid the victims of Hurricane Harvey. ”

Just to add to this, Samaritan’s Purse is one of the best charities out there when it comes to transparency & making sure funds actually get spent where they are supposed to.

I haven’t seen any other posts interested in it. I think DB is struggling with his recent ailment. I don’t think there would be a problem iffn you went ahead with your Paypal purchase. If you would like to PM me your mailing info I could get the package ready and then I’d just need confirmation from DB that he received the funds. Thanks for your contribution.

Sounds good, money and PM on the way.

The funding is a great idea.

I would like to take the following lights:

Lumintop HLAAA
Lumintop Tool AA

Paypal is on the way.

Thank you.

This works out well, I was actually looking for where to grab a copper tool AAA from. If they’re still available I’ll grab one.

Does the Copper Tool AAA have a Nichia LED?

It’s nice to help but for example these folks South Asia floods kill 1,200 and shut 1.8 million children out of school | India | The Guardian would need the money much more than the americans.

2 copper tool, 2 worm ss, 2 headlamp, 2 tool AA

I'd like a Tool AAA and a Worm Stainless.

Thanks!
