Fireweed is in need of supplies which Jackie in Tampa has very graciously offered to send but it will need to be shipped via FEDEX overnight and we need lots of donations to pay for shipping from Florida to me and then from me to the yukon.
I know it sounds strange but she will get it faster if it is shipped here, to me first for some strange reason.
Please send whatever you can to:
weez1959@videotron.ca
I will try to update how much we have as often as possible...

Do you know how much it is going to be--for the shipping and the supplies? That way I can pay for as much as possible first. Then if there's anything left, we can work toward that goal. :thumbsup

we don't know yet, just guesstimating until Jackie gets to the fedex office and ships and once I have box dimensions and weight well know more for sure, so far I think around $200.00 total.
And you keep out of it til the fat lady sings (that's me! :rotfl ) and I didn't sing yet... :D

PT wants to send a scale but if you can get one out right away, better and PT can send you $$ for it.
By the way I already have your shipping $$ so let me know where to send when you know how much it costs
Also don't forget to let me know the box size and weight when it's measured up so I know when to stop the donations...

Guys...I had to put some in because I'd be buying this stuff anyway if it were actually available on the moon... :D I put what I could afford at this very moment ($100.00) so let's see what the tally is before we get tooo crazy! :wott
I'm so shocked at you all...I have never had this kind of help in my life. Never. It's overwhelming. Yes, it's for the squirrel but I'm sure you all dig what I'm saying. :thumbsup
Lots of love and hugs to everyone... :grouphug

45 minutes until I leave...will ck back first...I can send alot of stuff, but not sure we can afford it...I was told it needed to be smallish in size...$$$$...it's still a stack and I will widdle it down when I actually see the box:rolleyes: ...
Fleece is not priority, but if it fits it's going...and some other extras..
CritterMom
05-05-2010, 04:22 PM
How about leaving the fleece out and putting a non auto-off heating pad in (about 13-15 bucks at a CVS)? Fireweed is setting her watch every hour to bump the heating pad!!

possibly more cabbage needed, I still don't know what Jackie paid for the first shipment...
I think it may be a bit more than I thought, depending on the weight of the box, which I still dont know...

Hey..lilbit!! Thanks for thinking of us...but please don't give anything if things are tight...seriously. You said you're in the same boat...use that money for your Betty! The reason we need the donations is because everything is coming from far away ( I live in Yukon where I can't get much) and I needed the stuff pronto, so it all added up fast.
Don't worry about us! I will gladly pay for it all if I have a month or two to do it!!
K...off to feed a baby!! Wish me luck! :grouphug

Hi everyone,
As most of you already know, Fireweeds baby passed away during our shipping operation so the package made it here to me, in Canada. Fireweed informed me that she would still like to recieve the package via snail mail since baby season is coming in her area and she doesn't want to be caught empty handed if an emergency were to arise again. So, I mailed it to her via regular mail yesterday. I also sent Jackie a bit more to cover the cost of the second half of the package (we had to split the shipment because of the high cost of fedex and send the less impotant stuff by regular mail.) and the cost of the heating pad and digital scale. ALL the rest she is very generously donating.:Love_Icon :Love_Icon :Love_Icon She included sooo much stuff in the box besides FV, syringes, nipples, HHBs, new digital scale, new heating pad and so much more...
I emailed everyone who so generously donated and most agreed to use the remaining funds for future emergencies. I will PM Momma Squirrel to see where she would like to keep it.....
Thank you all for your generous donations! :grouphug
Fireweed
05-08-2010, 01:21 PM
Thank you so much, everyone. :grouphug
And in the next emergency, in case I don't know about it, please make sure y'all let me know so I can be the first to donate!!!
I thought it was the best thing to still have the package sent because the siksik babies haven't even popped up yet and the tree squirrel babies haven't left their nests yet, either. I would HATE to be caught without supplies again (even though I hope and pray I never have to use them... ;) ). If I were to go around the internet trying to get all the stuff I need, it would take me more money and much longer to get it all together...by then the babies will be grown up and the siksiks will be hibernating!! So thank you all for being so kind and *swallow my pride*...so generous.
:grouphug :bowdown :grouphug
