From now until December 6th, any PayPal funds received will be used to buy rice for my cast of characters. If you send funds to buy me a cup of coffee or the kids some ice cream, please understand I’m buying rice with the PayPal money received from now (Nov. 18, 2024) until Dec. 6th, 2024. Right now we’re already at $20 USD. Rice costs about $1 USD per kilo (2.2 pounds) which means we’ve got roughly 20 kilos in the hopper. The rice will get split 10 ways, making the math easy. Here’s the recipient list:
- GRANDMA
- ATE MAY MAY
- ATE RACQUEL
- ATE MINDA
- TITO ROMEL
- KALAMANSI
- FLO & JOHN JOHN
- PIA
- MADI
- FATIMA (Yep, that means 10% goes to my crew as well. If I leave Fatima off this list, I’ll have problems, my friends.)
This isn’t a solicitation for donations. It’s merely an announcement of how I’m going to utilize any incoming funds received via PayPal. It’s not charity work because everyone on the list are family, friends, and ourselves. If you want to help, that’s wonderful. If not, just enjoy the show. To cover my rear, this little project is capped at $10,000 USD. I’m merely trying to spread some Christmas cheer. I’m not looking to be the rice king of Northern Cebu. I’ll keep you updated on the numbers but if they hit $10K USD, the project will be considered complete. My vision is to deliver a 50-kilo sack of rice to all of our main characters to help with upcoming Christmas get togethers. The total cost to accomplish this task is about $500 bucks.
