Already a bid on this auction for $20! We'd really love to see it go to some ISY members than just random eBay-ers so act now guys!

So does Eli have any more surguries he has to go through or is he getting back to his old self or what? Another question, is the money from the Ebay auctions going to Eli`s family? And another question, after all this do you think Eli will join ISY?

TS,

Eli is a very young man yet, early elementary age from what I recall, so it might be a few years before he is wanting to delve into SW forums. Ofcourse any youngster is welcome here as are his or her parents, but they have slightly larger issues to deal with for now I am guessing. I did get a very nice message from his mother and she is extremely appreciative of all of this that part I do know.

As far as any monies we raise here for Eli, that is subject to change from either shipping funds or toys of some nature in themselves. AFE can ofcourse elaborate, but he is in close communication with the family and as he has eleven boxes of toys to deliver I am just assuming the current monies will be geared towards getting those boxes there.

Ok, thats cool. I`ve just had those questions for awile now, and about parents being welcome on here; my parent dont really like star wars, I developed this interest on my own, with the exeption of hannsfartknocker who introduced me to the vast amounts of star wars books and since I met him he`s been a great freind and has helped me know about all these things that have to do with it including imperialshipyards. Eli sounds like a good kid and he would be treasured here on ISY, hes got a lot of reasons to stick with this interest as withoutsuch a good freind I would know little about star wars and would have probably left this wurth-while interset a long time ago.

Well don't you worry, we'll help you with your Star Wars interest and then some.

Wouldn't it be cool for Eli to meet you when and if he does decide to join a SW forum and then you could help him out. Ah, little dreams I have sometimes.

Folks, I have been made aware that Eli is now involved in a charity competition. Fulll details can be found on his facebook page here:

http://www.facebook.com/theforceisstrongwitheli?sk=wall

There contest is being run through Chase Community Charities and that link can be found here:

http://apps.facebook.com/chasecommunitygiving/charities/930995453-fanconi-anemia-research-fund-farf?src=vote_share

If you can find a minute (that is about all you need) please vote for this great charity. I also aim to put this on the front page later today. I would also ask the Yarders through their blogs or repsective sites (some of you already have done this) to put out this word and lets see if we can push them up to nummber 1.
