"So, as you know Marshall, my son, is in Kandahar Afghanistan on the
airstrip at the old airport there. Where he is they don't have a
kitchen, stove, microwaves,etc. For Thanksgiving dinner they are
eating powdered turkey and canned yams that they are heating up in
solar ovens. All that they want to eat for Christmas dinner is Frito
Pies!!
We called Frito Lay and they pretty much said, uh we'll get back to
you!! Well, we haven't heard anything so my husband and I are taking
matters into our own hands. There are 100 soldiers where Marshall is
stationed and Marshall has 11 soldiers in his unit. So, my husband
and I got to thinking that we can fit the fixings of frito pies into
the large flat rate boxes and send enough food in each of the boxes to
feed all 100 of them in 11 boxes and send them to Marshall's unit!
This is where ya'll come in! We figure that to send two boxes to each
soldier in his unit would be $35 which includes the cost of the Flat
Rate shipping and would hold enough food for 10 soldiers to have two
to three servings of a Frito Pie with Hormel Chili, cheese, and
jalapenos.
We're also going to include a card with everyone's name who donated
and we'll take pictures of everything we do and post them on my blog.
If you can't afford the two boxes any amount would do. We need a
total of $385 and we've already gotten $222.00. We are not going to go
above the money we need nor are we keeping anything for ourselves.
If you want to help, here is Nikie Brown (my mom's friend's) email address which is her paypal address. You can send any amount even $5.00 will help to her paypal addy is nbrown@zozca.com. If you want updates you can email Mrs. Brown at nbrown@zozca.com.
