Need Help - Have An Idea

Brad · #1 Mar 25, '05, 8:24 am

I have an idea but I need your help.

We can make a statment here that may make a very big difference.

Terri needs food. Let's send some to the hospice. Who has the address? Don't send it to her. Send it to the Director of the Hospice. Give the director instructions:

1) If you are fasting:

"I understand a woman at your facility needs food. I gave up mine today so that she can have some. God bless you."

2) If you are not fasting:

"I understand a woman at your facility needs food. Please feed her for me. God bless you."

Here is the help part.

1) We need the hospice address
2) If this is going to be effective, we must absolutely flood the hospice with food. Fruit, meat, bread WHATEVER. I need you to send some and then email EVERYONE to do the same and ask all of them to email EVERYONE to do the same
3) If the hospice is FLOODED with food:

a) There will be a backup of UPS, FEDEX, USPS etc trucks
right in front of the nationall media
b) The hospice will HAVE to do something with the food. They
will either do nothing (which would look terrible) OR they
will give it to the needy (a very good thing but at the same
time they will look silly feeding the hungry while they
are starving someone)

Here is one place to order from to get you started. People can add other places:

No takers?

It's really not that difficult. A simple $20 dollar tythe and a couple minutes online.

I think it is a good idea,but we have to get some large numbers to do it.

Ok. Let's start here. How many takers do we have? Of all the takers, how many are on their email list? How many are on the email list of the people that are emailed by the takers?

The hospice needs to hear from us.

I say we get about 10-15 here and we are off and running.

I'm in

I'm in. I can't do internet banking though. I will have to figure out if the shipping companies are open. Oh, they will be tomorrow. I'll do it on my way home from work.

What I will do right now is look up food companies for people. What is the name of the city in which the hospice is located again?

Another good strategy is to get word out to the talk show hosts who are with us.

OK, I know what I am going to send now: a case of gatorade and baby food.

Pinellas Park, Florida.

Does anyone have the name/address of the facility or know where we can get it?

Brad · #8 Mar 25, '05, 9:52 am

Found the address:

Hospice Director
Woodside Hospice
6774 102nd Avenue N
Pinellas Park, FL 33782-2909

I applaud your idea. However, I'm afraid it will do no good. The food will not be delivered, and if you try to enter the hospice, you will be arrested.

Why doesn't someone in authority have the courage to do what's right? This is a defining moment for the governor of Florida. Will he step up? And what about the President? He can order Federal marshals in there to take Terri. Will he step up?

Are they that afraid of the judicial tyrants and their media allies?

You can go to any search engine and type in "internet groceries" and there are many sites that you can shop from. One I found is http://www.netgrocer.com and they'll Fed Ex an order up to $24.99 for $6.

We are not delivering it to Terri but to the Hospice director. Certainly, the are receiving packages aren't they? They have to function.

This is more of a statement than a functional move. We need to make a huge and loud statement. Are you with us?

Brad · #12 Mar 25, '05, 10:09 am

We've got to try: (remember, the food will go to someone needy)

(borrowing from rastell, thank you)

35 For I was hungry, and you gave me to eat; I was thirsty, and you gave me to drink; I was a stranger, and you took me in:
36 Naked, and you covered me: sick, and you visited me: I was in prison, and you came to me.
37 Then shall the just answer him, saying: Lord, when did we see thee hungry, and fed thee; thirsty, and gave thee drink?
38 And when did we see thee a stranger, and took thee in? or naked, and covered thee?
39 Or when did we see thee sick or in prison, and came to thee?
40 And the king answering, shall say to them: Amen I say to you, as long as you did it to one of these my least brethren, you did it to me.
41 Then he shall say to them also that shall be on his left hand: Depart from me, you cursed, into everlasting fire which was prepared for the devil and his angels.
42 For I was hungry, and you gave me not to eat: I was thirsty, and you gave me not to drink.
43 I was a stranger, and you took me not in: naked, and you covered me not: sick and in prison, and you did not visit me.
44 Then they also shall answer him, saying: Lord, when did we see thee hungry, or thirsty, or a stranger, or naked, or sick, or in prison, and did not minister to thee?
45 Then he shall answer them, saying: Amen I say to you, as long as you did it not to one of these least, neither did you do it to me.
46 And these shall go into everlasting punishment: but the just, into life everlasting.

Great idea. And some folks should send bottled water.

**Ani Ibi** · #14 Mar 25, '05, 10:14 am

Send gatorade. It contains electrolytes as well as H2O:

http://www.gatorade.com/index.php?bmk=2.0.main

Send baby food:

http://www.gerber.com/home

I am not sure if you can purchase these on line. But maybe it would do us some good to get away from the computer for a bit and take a walk to the grocery store.

NFPfamily · #15 Mar 25, '05, 10:15 am

Any idea how to get food there quicker? Fed Ex is 3-7 business days, and I hate to think on the negative side, but that may be too late.
