Hello - my name is Michael and I need some urgent help!
A group of friends and I are trying to raise donations for a specific group of 60 children that are currently held in NYC detention centers, away from their families.
These children are of ages seventeen and younger. Technically speaking they are illegal immigrants from Mexico, Venezuela, Colombia, and other Latin American countries. Their families sent these children here in hopes of giving them better opportunity because they could not afford to raise them at home.
My friends and I are already in the process of finding clothes, jackets, and books for them, but we would LOVE it if we could also get two foosball tables donated to the kids as well. We've heard they love to play soccer, and we think that they would love to play foosball too!
Do you know of anybody who would be willing to donate a foosball table to these children?
Would greatly appreciate ANY help you can provide, including any other contacts you can give of those you think would want to help! Please PM me if interested in helping.
My friends and I would be more than happy to pick up any tables in the NYC area and deliver them to the location where the children are being held (it's in the Bronx). Alternatively, we could provide you shipping information, in which case we would offer to (very gratefully) reimburse you all shipping and handling costs.
We want to deliver all donations to the children before Christmas, so we would be especially grateful for any help received as soon as possible.
Thank you so very much on behalf of these children. We want them to know that although they are separated from their families this holiday season that they are not alone!
Best wishes and best of luck at the tables!
Regards,
Michael
