Tigger is making his way to Afghanistan for a true hero … won’t you please help to fill his tummy? :o)<\/span><\/em><\/div>\n<\/div>\n

One of the soldiers I am currently supporting in Afghanistan has been having a bit of a difficult time. In an effort to uplift his spirits a bit, I went to Tijuana a few months back during my layover in San Diego and bought a Tigger Pinata to send to him.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\n
\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n
So you can tell how big Tigger is too bad you cannot see the smiles of the passengers .. they LOVED this experience on the plane ride “home” \u2665<\/em><\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Tigger (T eye double guh rrrr) is about 4 feet tall and is going to take probably close to 25 lbs of candy. (that is how much the pinata I sent last year to Task Force Dirigo took).<\/strong><\/p>\n

This will be the 4th Tigger Pinata that has gone to Afghanistan .. nothing like making my own mark on the world, right?\u00a0whoooo whooo whoo\u00a0(or whatever that funny noise is that Tigger makes).<\/strong><\/p>\n

From Mexico to the United States .. and soon to be in Afghanistan .. Tigger really gets around! \ud83d\ude42<\/em><\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n

If you would like to make a cash donation to assist with purchasing the candy or the shipping of this magnificent care package, that would be wonderful. Or, if you live in the area & want bring me candy (please NO CHOCOLATE … it is 120 degrees over there, and the chocolate will cause everything to melt together), that would be awesome as well. The package containing the Tigger Pinata will not be sent until the 2nd week of August, so it will arrive at exactly the right time.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Tigger made his mark on the 101st Airborne, specifically SGM John Miller, 2008<\/span><\/em><\/div>\n

All monies and donations for this particular project will need to be received no later than 11August. (If I get too much candy or cash .. yeah, that would be a dream come true! haha .. I will use it for the other care packages I will be sending to the troops I am supporting at this time).<\/strong><\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Thanks a million for being a part of making a tremendous difference .. by helping me to help boost moral for this particular soldier .. and his entire unit!<\/strong><\/p>\n
