Got Screwed by Amazon...final appeal done

Actually my wife did it and runs it. The whole story is on http://www.christmas-vacation.com She really had to jump through hoops to make it a legal charity but, she finally did it in about a month.

She has already had inquires from schools that never participated so far. The beginning was bad...schools said they couldn't give a list of poor kids to my wife. Once they saw what she did with the kids on the lists she did get, all the local schools decided to help.

But, like I said, my wife does it all. I help out a little but, she gets the lists together, talks to parents to find out what the Teens want and does the shopping, wrapping and delivering. And she always signs the cards, "Love, Santa"

Anyway, it looks like this year she will be buying for over almost 1000 Teens. But, no donations for a few months.
