Please send Drake a card:....his time is short
« on: December 07, 2018, 09:55:02 AM »
guys/gals, please read below,including the link, and drop this child a card....this tears me up inside..m

I know we all like to squabble and fight here on the Rant, but we can all agree that cancer sucks, especially children battling this horrific disease. Please read the attached link and send little Drake Quibodeaux a Christmas card.....he is 8 years old with terminal brain cancer. All he wants for Christmas is 190 cards. Let's make sure he gets 10 times that amount.....His address is
2412 Hwy 388, Vinton, LA, 70668.

2010 Champs:  Thanks for posting this.  I visited the link and added him to our Christmas card list.  Will get the wife to go the first of next week and get a nice, appropriate Christmas card for him and get it in the mail.  How sad.

2010 Champs:  Just got off the phone with my wife at her work at a flower shop.   She asked what I wanted.  I replied a real nice Christmas card for an 8 y/o boy.  She asked if it was for Drake?  I liked to have dropped my teeth.  They had heard about Drake and was preparing to send him a Christmas card.  That was a pleasant surprise.

2010 Champs-- I checked my PM messages and it was not there.  I exited the BG website and re-logged in.  Still nothing.  Checked my mail messages and I have not received an email notification.

Check your PM sent messages, maybe they will give you a clue.
