Y'all seeing this? We are nearing halfway there and the sun hasn't set.

Y'all are awesome. Spread the word to any baseball fan who's been able to watch a game because this man did the work.

I promise you we've all spent money on dumber things.

Even seeing $500 and $1000 donations. Legit OT Ballers are checking in. And the smaller donations are really adding up too.

Please add the link to the GFM in the OP. I had to scroll down a few pages to find it posted by someone else.

Would probably help with folks finding and giving.

BtW, your story is quite moving and the help coming from this place brought tears of joy and gratitude to my eyes that the world is still fill of really good people.

From those who gave a dollar to the top donor...this is what the OT is about.

This is Tigerdroppings.

Y'all are amazing.

This is the part in the movie where the chips are down, and the old man looks like he's had it, back against the wall, foes and fate aligned against him.

"You've got no one old man, you're beat, busted, done. Give up!"

And then, you hear someone run for help, and one little soul steps out. One little kid with a pea shooter.

"Ain't much, but he's got one."

But then one by one, good folks like you step out of the shadows and you hear that ominous click of hammers pulling back.

And the guns get bigger, and bigger. That's how you win the day and bring hope to the hopeless.

To the naysayers...nay say all you want.

The people BC has helped laugh, even on the bad days...they get it.

They say put good out into the world, give it freely, and one day it will come back to you.


Well... it's coming

Donated to help a hard working father. Not many left like that. I know the struggle caring for handicapped family members, as my wife and I at 70 now care full time for my 47 yr old sister with Down's. My mother was wheelchair bound for the last 12 years of her life, and handicap accessible van for transport was a must. May the Lord bless your family with these gifts from those more fortunate than you. Bless them for freely giving of their time and treasure.

Donated. I pray that the OT is generous enough for you and your dad to set up a long term plan for your siblings' care. Hopefully Chicken gives his blessing to post the link in the OP so the floodgates can really open.


My donation is nothing compared to what Mr Robear has done for me over the years!

Beautiful to see the generosity on display. Proud to be a member of this community.

If it was baseball season, the link was a top reply, and this thread was on the Tiger Rant it would get a lot of traction I think.

Many of the baseball folks who would donate may not be checking TD as much in the offseason.

Still, very cool to see.

So, maybe now is the time to reach out to them.

If you know any fellow fans from on here, and they've ever said



Podnuhhhhhhhh!!!! As we celebrated a win...

Let's pass the hat around.

For all our special friends

Someone should give a heads up on The Rant. A lot of those guys who watch the stream may not come to the OT but would be happy to help out if they know.

If only we weren't spending $47,000 for transgender operas in Colombia, and many, many other billions for non Americans.

If only. OPs dad shouldn't be working, but I respect the grind.
